Four of us stayed here for three nights while visiting the Nelson area. This is a very comfortable place in a nice quiet neighborhood. We found it was a great base for exploring the area—just 15-20 minutes drive to Nelson, and a half hour or so to Motueka. Richmond has everything you need in terms of supplies, including 2 grocery stores and a K-Mart at the nearby Richmond Mall. The remodel is lovely, and we really appreciated how much thought was given to all the amenities in the house. The kitchen is well-stocked with plates and utensils, and there are lots of nice extras, such as a laundry line under the porch cover so we could leave everything to dry even though it rained all day. No kids in our party, but there’s a whole closet full of games and activities for families to enjoy. All in all, this has been our favorite accommodation so far on our New Zealand vacation!
