What a wonderful refuge. The studio windows open up so you have the possibility of a complete open wall looking down over the town of Nelson. Falling asleep looking at the stars is pretty awesome and then awaken to the birds in the trees right outside. It felt like you were in an exquisite tree house. The property backs up to a wonderful protected green space. A pleasant and easy 15-20 minute walk into town or an easy drive. Lots of walking and biking trails literally out your door. The bed is super comfortable and the studio is very spacious. Kitchen is fine for easy meal prep but not for more ambitious meals. There is an outdoor barbeque and lovely outdoor sitting areas. Wendy and Tony are gracious and fun hosts. We feel fortunate to have been able to spend an evening over wine and cheese together. Wendy loves the area and has LOTS of wonderful and helpful travel suggestions. We were able to pick fresh raspberries and blueberries from the garden outside our door. Also nice to be able to do laundry. There is a second apartment available if traveling with friends or larger family. The studio was perfect for a couple.
Highly recommend dinner at Hopgoods, one of the best meals we've ever eaten. Don't miss the museum of Wearable Art. Beautiful area and would stay here again when in Nelson.
