We stayed 2 nights at Alan and Claire's place. The view from the bedroom and the dining room are breathtaking. While the bedroom is on the small size, the bed is very comfortable, the area very quiet and there is so much to do in the area that all we needed was a good night sleep and the room was perfect for us. Bathroom is very clean and good water pressure. As mentioned in the description you do need a car but you are 5 min away from the beautiful and so walkable Tahunanui beach. Great coffee place, craft beer and restaurants at the bottom of the hill (5 min drive). Separate from Nelson CBD the area is very central to several local attractions. We felt very welcome and at ease with Alan and Claire.
