Robin and Alison run a wonderful Airbnb that is perfect for a family of four or two couples.
House: Robin and Alison’s riverside home is great. It comes with all the expected amenities as well as heated blankets for cold nights and a portable space heater in addition to a space heater in the living room.
The kitchen was clean and spacious. Also, the carpets seemed very clean. There is a nice living room to relax and watch TV. There is also a dining room with a table for 6 that could probably double as a nice table for board games! 10/10
Night’s Sleep: my wife and I had a great nights sleep in the bottom two twin beds. Beds game with space heaters which helped with some chilly Nelson nights.
My mom slept upstairs and noticed some whistling sounds coming from a window. This may have been due to the windy conditions that night but had a good nights sleep overall.
The beds and pillows were very comfortable and clean and did not sag or feel too soft. 9/10
Value for Money: we felt that the price was a little cheaper than what you would have paid for two hotel rooms and provided the same, if not more, comfort. 10/10
Location and Activities: the location is superb. It is a minutes walk from Nelson’s city square and right next to both a grocery store and river! The view from the home was beautiful and was not noisy at all. I think this would be a wonderful Airbnb to rent to just relax and get away from the business of life for a week.
The location is close to the “Center of New Zealand” as well as the “Queen’s Gardens.” In addition, it is close to many other hiking trails. 10/10
X Factor: the owners have a extremely friendly and adorable miniature dachshund named Poppy. 10/10
