Our stay at Thomas' house turned into great memories - we made friends with Thomas and his sons, as well as other guests. Thomas and his sons are a welcoming and big-hearted family who share their nice house with guests and treat the guests as good friends. Be respectful and follow the house rules and you will have a great time.
The house is big, nice, and clean. There are 3 guest rooms, so facilities (bathroom, kitchen, dining area) are shared with other guests and Thomas' family. Thomas' two sons (in their twenties) are very polite and respectful. The house is centrally located, a 10-20 minute walk to the center. One thing you should be mindful of if you are a light sleeper is that 2 of the 3 rooms are facing the street, and the street is somewhat noisy at night with the through traffic. That being said, I cannot recommend Thomas's place enough. They were kind to us and made our time in Nelson the highlight of the trip to New Zealand!
