Hildegard made me feel very welcome in her home. She picked me up and even dropped me at the bus station when I left. She was very friendly and approachable, but also considerate of my space and quiet time. The space for guests is very nicely renovated, and very clean. It felt quite luxurious. The view from the outdoor setting, and through the front window is incredible and the neighbourhood is lovely and quiet except for the sound of nature, which is wonderful. It is a 15 minute walk down to the beach, and at least 1 hour walk into Nelson CBD, but if you enjoy walking with a stunning view of the ocean all the way, then you won't mind. I enjoyed it a lot! I would definitely stay here again.
