This patio is trimmed with tree ferns, flowers, and looks out over a spectacular view of the aquamarine waters of the sound, with ships coming and going, birds flying eye-level, and the sun slowing sinking into the hills above the sea. The cottage is clean, cozy, and the patio where you want to stay. Had a beautiful birthday dinner at the Boat Shed cafe nearby and a walk into downtown Nelson. Lovely well-traveled, kind couple who stocks the kitchen for you.
