Sande was a warm, welcoming host who made us feel completely at home in her beachside abode. Even with a 2 and a 4 year old, we felt that the kids could completely let loose, jumping on the beds and screaming away, as children do. She made us feel at ease and comfortable. Max the dog was so loving and so eager to run on the beach with us. When we arrived back to Nelson, our 2 year old was asking to go "back to Sande and Max's house". We hope to visit again soon.
