This place is the very best of the best in Airbnb hospitality. A must stay! Darryl and Lesley were beyond welcoming hosts - giving us a great tour of the place and offering lots of local knowledge about the area and where to go.
The cottage itself is stunning - clean, cosy, beautiful gardens and even better than the pictures. Oh, and there are four very friendly pet sheep in the backyard to keep you company. Fun!
This spot in Bronte is the perfect place to base yourself in the Nelson area - right on the water, a stone’s throw from Mapua (a charming little coastal village), on the Abel Tasman side of town (if you’re heading to the national park) and close enough to Nelson town if you can ever bring yourself to leave the house.
We basically lived down at Mapua wharf - great restaurants and cafes and a wine bar that open until late every night of the week. We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves enjoying a wine and pizza at 10pm on a quiet Monday night.
Thanks Darryl and Lesley - can’t recommend this place highly enough. We will certainly be back!
