We had a fantastic time at the Crows Nest. The views are stunning and the place has everything you need. The balcony is fully enclosed which was essential with our almost 3 year old. It's very private and not overlooked at all. The hosts are very nice, leaving us to ourselves but lending my husband a brush when they saw him cleaning his shoes. It's a 20 min walk to Tahuna beach and 25 min walk to Nelson city centre. There is also a bus stop a few mins walk from the place.
