This home is an absolute gem! It feels so fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed - we had an incredibly comfortable stay. It is modern, stylish, and clean with beautiful and functional spaces. The location is great; tucked away in a peaceful neighbourhood but perfectly situated for easy access to Nelson, Abel Tasman, and other destinations. The house itself is spacious, pristine, and well-equipped, with great water pressure in the showers. Hayden and Krysta go above and beyond with their hospitality - their communication was wonderful and there were little thoughtful touches that made the stay extra special. This place is definitely worth every dollar. Highly recommend, and would absolutely stay again!

    Staff were super friendly and offered me a lot of help, laundry was the cheapest so far I’ve done in New Zealand. The beds, bathroom, kitchen are very clean. Location is good, was in a quiet neighborhood and still close to the city center.
