Waimea West is a spacious, charming, eclectic place situated, as promised, in the middle of a hop farm with an idyllic view of the hills/mountains in the distance and beautiful sunsets in the evening. The house is very well appointed with great attention to detail in the way of interesting, tasteful furniture, decoration and personal touches. We found it very comfortable for our party of six adults and definitely appreciated that it had two bathrooms, comfortable beds, nice towels and linens. Edi and Willy (and their little dog, Jolie), our hosts, were equally charming, helpful and accommodating. We only regret that we didn't get the chance to take them up on a tour of the farm as we ran out of time. We were well situated to enjoy a day in Nelson as well as a couple visits to stunning Abel Tasman NP. Unfortunately not enough time for a winery visit of which there are many in the area. Next time! Lovely place, lovely time. I highly recommend!
