We loved our week's stay in this lovely cottage that's set amongst lovely countryside and gardens near bye. An easy 15 - 20 minute drive long the inlet into Nelson and close to the the beautiful Cable Bay area. The cottage and gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed coming home each day to relax in these surroundings. The cottage has a nice deck & outdoor furniture (loved the Weber BBQ) to enjoy and the cottage décor and amenities are top class with two good size double bedrooms. Karen and Murray are great hosts, very welcoming and helpful, especially with their local knowledge. We would recommend Thackwood Cottage, especially if you're after a relaxing location in the country within an easy drive into Nelson city. Kind regards Viv & Mike Durham
