Parkview Cottage is a great base to explore central Nelson. Having a bike to use was fantastic and I made good use of this to get to places of interest. The weekend markets, Centre of NZ, places of historical interest, Tahunanui Beach, WOW and Classic car museum were all within walking and cycling distances. The cottage was well equipped and clean and having a sunny deck to sit out on was a bonus. Raeonie and Mark are very friendly and helpful hosts who provide a pick up and drop off service to/from the airport if needed.
