Our stay at Great views, Close to beach and city was a fabulous experience! Jan and Ian were warm and welcoming. They were extremely helpful with their recommendations about places to visit and how to find our way around Nelson. Jan went above and beyond our expectations by giving us a ride to the city market and to the airport to pick up our rental car. She even packed a lunch for us for our visit to Abel Tasman, a most unexpected but most appreciated treat. Ian and Jan's apartment was perfect for three of us but could accommodate more people. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and I can't think of a thing that was not provided (kitchen, bathroom were very well stocked with necessary items). And . . . . . . what a view! We could sit on the deck and look over the beach, bay, and into the mountains. The sunsets were spectacular!! Ian was most helpful in giving us driving tips. This stay was a perfect beginning to our visit to the South Island. We would go back in a heartbeat!
