This really was a perfect stay! We had an extended stay of over a month, and it was wonderful to be completely self contained, so we could cook our own food etc, it had everything we needed. Nelson is beautiful, and the place is very cosy with a little lawn just outside which we were free to use all we wanted. The location is perfect; close to the edge of town by the beautiful Maitai River, with walking tracks and nature close by; yet just a few minutes walk from the center of town; really the best of both worlds. Sue and Lloyd were wonderful welcoming hosts, very helpful with things like laundry, and when we were there we even had the opportunity to borrow bikes for free to explore the surroundings.
