We had a wonderful time spending Christmas at Hallam Cottage. Robert and his parents were extremely friendly and helpful, they even let us put the kids Christmas presents under their Christmas tree in the comfortable Forester Cafe. Our cottage was clean to the spot and the kitchen was very well equipped. There is no oven but there was a barbecue we could use on Christmas Eve so everything was perfect. We also used the hot pool, and you are allowed to use it at any time, which was great. There is nothing but beautiful nature around you and Nelson is about 35 km away. But that’s exactly what we wanted. The kids had so much fun running around on the huge lawn and they instantly fell in love with Roberts two dogs Dacota and Coco. If we come back to New Zealand we will definitely come back here. Thanks for such a wonderful Christmas.
