Historical accomodation in Central Nelson.
The good - the location was great, easy to get into the township and go for dinner and a drink. The property was reflected well in the photos, a lot of character. There was a nice welcome basket with a loaf of bread and some cereal included. The price was quite good for the amount of beds in the property and proximity to town.
The not so good - communication was really poor. We were advised the day before that the property wouldn't be ready until between 3pm - 3.30pm (check-in time was meant to be 2pm), and that we'd receive a text message when the property was ready for check in. After no text, we sent a message enquiring if it was ready, and when no reply came, we headed to the accommodation and hoped it would be ready. We then received a less-than-polite text that said they didn't have reception on their phone and that check-in was 2pm and had been ready. My assumption is that there were two people managing the communication, but weren't communicating with each other. This put us out and didn't start the stay on a good foot.
Cleanliness - the property was tidy but the Fridge had a fly in it, the bathroom sink had spiders, there were cobwebs in the corners and the place needed a good dusting. The beds were made nicely and bedding seemed clean though.
The leaflets and printouts at the property didn't exactly provide a relaxing environment either - notes about the owners needing to check the property before we left was very odd, but based on the response of the owners to others who have brought this up in reviews, we know this feedback won't be received well!
Overall, it was okay but we wouldn't stay again.
