"Don't you agree that, on one's first visit to Florence, one must have a room with a view?" For Florence read Nelson and for first read every. The view from Te Whare Rangi was breathtaking and you could spend the entire visit on the verandah looking out over the bay. With a cold glass of wine to hand there are few better experiences. From picking us up from the airport to dropping us back David was the perfect host. Thank you also for the loan of your bikes. We loved the ambiance at Te Whare Rangi and all the neat little touches. It is such a beautiful example of houses from that era and the opportunity to experience it was a privilege. Puna Perch is a lovely room and so comfortable with great views from its perch, well worth the trip up and down the steps to the bathroom. We enjoyed Nelson with lots to do within walking and biking distance. Thank you, David, for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.
