Holiday Nelson’s place was great. The view was incredible. It was really fun to watch the ships come into the port. We found it peaceful as well. The listing mentions the traffic noise, which is thoughtful to be aware of given so many quiet places around NZ, but we didn’t find it an issue at all. Being one house from the street and elevated, with the doors closed it was quiet. With the doors open, it sounded like standard road noise at a distance. Check in was easy and someone met us to get us oriented to the house which was nice. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. We were able to walk to a few restaurants within minutes and a couple of fishing spots. Surprisingly it’s only a 5 minute drive to the center of town. This location really has it all. We would definitely stay here again.
