Our hosts were wonderful. They were there to greet us and made us feel very welcome. They provided provisions for a lovely breakfast the next morning and made sure to explain everything about the house and where to shop, etc. We found the house very well maintained, clean, cozy and comfortable. There is a lovely garden out in the back if you wish to lay in the sun. Also very convenient to a shoping mall (but far enough away to b quiet). Transportation to downtown Christchurch was just a short walk. All and all a very nice place to stay for some days in Nelson.
