Thomas was friendly and made us very welcome. Our room was large and the double bed was comfortable. There was a large bathroom which we shared with the family. The kitchen was large and well equipped and we prepared and cooked our own food (note breakfast not provided). It was easy to walk down to town from the house and we enjoyed visiting Nelson and walking at Abel Tasman and Cable Bay. Thomas was knowledgeable and gave us good advice about where to go. He has lived in the area a long time and speaks good English as his second language (first is German).
