Leanne's place was just wonderful. The house was spacious, well decorated, spotless and had every amenity you can imagine - plus the beds are so comfortable! The property itself is gorgeous - very peaceful, with a pond and stunning gardens. It's located right next to walking trails, one of which connects to a sports field. We found Brightwater to be an excellent base for our adventures in Nelson/Golden Bay area - easy to get in/out, but with a Four Square and a few shops down the road for basics nearby. Highly recommend Leanne's place if you're traveling to Nelson area.
