The house was great and plenty big enough for 6 people. It was a close drive into Nelson so plenty of bars and restaurants. The outdoor area was big and great for outdoor barbecue. The house was well equipped for all of our needs and Paul was a great host. The only small downside was there was noise from the traffic which you will get anywhere in Nelson if you are overlooking the sea, since a highway follows the coast. I thought the house was good value for money and I would recommend staying there.
