We returned to Nelson (embarrasingly for the first time in over 20 years) to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary as we had our honeymoon at Kaiteriteri Beach way back in 1976.

As soon as I saw ArrowRock as a Air BNB option I was hooked. It is exactly as advertised, presented, and reviewed. It offers unrivalled expansive harbour views, it is spacious, modern, well furnished, bright, clean and very comfortable. The little touches for guests are wonderful.

My only 'alert' would be to those with mobility issues/elderly as it is accused by quite a few steps and is at the top of a steep driveway. If you are active however, you will enjoy the exercise.

It is a very good location. Can be impossible to do a right hand turn towards the city during peak traffic hours but then you can achieve the same objective with a left hand turn and an alternative route. It is walking distance from the city. We found it no effort and enjoyed the sights along the way. It is very close to some harbourside dining options including Harbour Light Bistro which we loved.

Honestly, if Mary would have us, we wouldn't look anywhere else when in Nelson and we'd definitely like to return a lot more often to that beautiful region.
