We had an absolutely wonderful stay with Peter and Veronica, who are two of the nicest people we've met in our travels. Their beautiful house was the original farmhouse here many years ago, and it has stunning views from the top room, which we were free to use all to ourselves. We love character homes and the way this lovely couple make you feel so welcome means you can imagine it's your own house! We stayed with our 2 children (who didn't want to leave!) and stayed in 2 rooms (incl the top room). We also had our own private huge bathroom that was spotlessly clean and gorgeous. Peter drew us lots of maps for local secret places (swim holes, walks, rivers, town, etc), plus cooked us breakfast, we just wished we'd stayed longer to discover more of this beautiful haven. Stay here instead of central Nelson!
