Fantastic home in a great location.
We loved how spacious the rooms were, and how well set up it was with appliances . It was stylishly decorated with comfortable furnishings and nice art work etc.
They also had a book shelf with a an excellent variety of popular but quality books.
We loved the location, which had such a peaceful outlook of trees at the Japanese gardens across the road , and then beyond the ocean and mountains.
The main living area was warm and cosy with a heat pump on overcast days and on sunny days the afternoons sun streamed in warming the terracotta tiles. The main living area also had very good lighting which could be dimmed for ambience or turned up when preparing food or reading in the evening. We were also delighted that good bedside lamps for reading were provided, as in our experience most places only have ambient lighting in bedrooms.
It was in a quiet location, and we slept peacefully.
We love walking, and were delighted to have several lovely options nearby. For our morning exercise we enjoyed walking up the tree and bluebell filled hills of the old cementry, the walk up to the center of New Zealand, and the walking and cycling track. When we felt lazier, walking through the amazing Japanese gardens right across the road was such a relaxing and nourishing treat.
It was also very close to the founders park (historic houses and businesses set in landscaped grounds) , and a quick drive into town. So a central, quiet convenient and beautiful location
Our only niggle was that only sun-filter blinds were provided. This meant the bedroom couldn't be fully darkened at night, and that we couldn't have complete privacy in the living areas at night because with sun-filter blinds you can see into lighted rooms in the evening.
Fortunately the elevated position of the house helped us feel less exposed.
Chris our host was easy to get hold of and polite helpful prompt and inobtrusive.
We highly recommend visiting pretty Nelson and staying in this very comfortable and attractive home.
