John was not only such a great host, he was also a great tour guide as well. Not only a notable local, but also a thoughtful person who showed us the do's and dont's when in Nelson. He kindly picked me and my partner up from the airport. Whilst the pick up, he gave us a quick tour guide of Nelson in his car and noted out all the best's places to eat, and even walked us to the best places to drink (My favorite) and this was only the first day! I not only salute John for his impeccable mannerism and treatment towards his guests, but his home is just as beautiful as the water it floats on. Highly recommend for all guests who are wanting a different experience of the right sort. Thank you to the city of Nelson and John for the great experience. If you have John as your host, ask him to show you the converted church - bar :D
