Caroline was kind of person who loves to meet new people and "easy to stay with" host. And we were also welcomed by one of her 3 cats!!! (I and my family are real animal lover, so staying with her cats were really good experience for us!)

During the booking process and before arrival, our communication was very smooth and Caroline's reply was always prompt.

From our arrival, I felt like that I knew her for long time and I was staying with my own family or friend.
It was really "Cozy Colonial Cottage" - except the size and ceiling heights, this 'Cozy Colonial Cottage" had an atmosphere of English Cottage.
House was well maintained and very clean.
It may not be for someone who look for somewhere new and modern space, but if you like the house has a character, it's the place for you.

Supermarket was close and short drive took me to Richmond and Nelson (if you have a car - sorry, don't know about public transport).

I stayed with my husband and son in a double and a single bedroom, so plenty of space for 3 of us. Kitchen was well equipped (much better than staying motel with tiny kitchen with limited facility), so we didn't need to go out for meals which is really plus for long holiday.

If I need an accommodation in Nelson in the future, I definitely stay at "Cozy Colonial Cottage" again.
Highly recommended!
