Mobile phone reception very sketchy and pretty non existent. Rachel was happy for us to use the land line within reason. Location is AMAZING. Highly recommended and we hope to return next time we are in NZ. Quiet beyond belief apart from the wildlife, a real sanctuary from modern life and it’s stresses. If you are in two minds about this property the put them aside and book this place, you will not be disappointed. We initially thought 20 mins from Nelson was too far but in reality it was perfect. So so so happy we found this place and a big thank you to Rachel from us both.
