Marijke and her family were interesting and delightful. They made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The house is a lovely old home from the mid 18th century. Our room and bathroom were spacious, clean and comfortable. It is a short walk to the city of Nelson for shopping, eating and sightseeing, and not too far for a day trip to Abel Tasman National Park. If you are coming to Nelson, I recommend a stay with Marijke.
