I would highly recommend Dawns place for a stay in Nelson. We found it exceeded our expectations as a self-contained private flat and had stunning views over the water and mountains. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom well-equiped and everything was new and spotless. We liked the coffee maker so much we bought the same when we got home!The sauna and outdoor bath tub with views of the mountains were a delight. We stayed for a few days to unwind in the peace and quiet, but also found that restaurants and cafes were just a short drive away. A great base for exploring the Nelson area.
