The Sanctuary Cottage is a lovely French country dream, with lots of extra touches that make it so special. Even though it is sort of near the main house it is absolutely private on all sides.
The view from the spa bath and deck is so lovely with a pond and mountains, trees and even lovely citrus. Viktoria spoiled us with farm eggs and delicious iced butter cookies.
Nelson is a super fun place. Have a fancy supper at Hopgoods. A takeaway from Nyasa Turkish restaurant and a glamorous historic tea at Melrose House. The roses are all blooming in the parks. Also delightful is the Japanese and Chinese gardens.
