Alan and Claire have a very beautiful house and are lovely people - we really enjoyed our stay in Nelson. The view from the room and the deck is unbeatable. The location is only a few minutes drive to the city centre (down the big hill) and there are some great running/walking trails nearby (walking to and from the town isn't really a viable option though for those interested in doing that). The room gets a bit warm because of the sun shining in, but it just made us get up earlier to enjoy Nelson and surroundings!
