We had a wonderful stay at the Maitai Studio Retreat - such a well-appointed unique space. The studio is a lovely private sanctuary - secluded but still close to town. Prior to our stay in Nelson, Wendy was so helpful, sharing her local knowledge and great recommendations for things to do. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome as she gave us a useful tour of the property. The studio is equipped with many helpful resources for nearby hikes, activities, dining, and more. We loved The Boat Shed Cafe and Cod & Lobster (two of her restaurant recommendations), as well as a walk through the nearby swimming holes. We took advantage of the nice outdoor cooking area and were grateful for access to a great washer and dryer as well. It's clear that Wendy has a knack for hosting and making others feel welcome. We enjoyed all of our interactions with her and are grateful for the personal touches she added to make our stay extra special!
