Beach holidays don't get any better than this!

This stand alone home is located near the Airport and Tahuna Golf course on a cul de sac, and the last house down a shared driveway. There's ample off street private parking for 2 cars. The house has a completely set-up kitchen (including large fridge, freezer, induction hob, oven, microwave etc), which opens into the lounge (heat pump/aircon, tv, stereo). Ranch sliders open the lounge to the west-facing large deck (think sunsets!). There's a bbq, sun umbrella etc. Also on the ground floor is one bedroom (queen bed), bathroom (shower and toilet), and laundry (washing machine and another toilet). Upstairs is another large bedroom (queen bed) and a trundle bed. There's a large completely fenced and secured yard. A private back gate enters directly into the famous Tahunanui Beach Holiday Park, which provides an off-road park like stroll directly to the beach.
This property is near the airport, therefore on the flight path of domestic flights (Airport closes at night).

Exactly what we needed for a week before our house purchase settled. Our dog was secure in the fenced yard too which was important to us.

Chosen for location close to Motor Camp

The property was very comfortable and generally met our needs. The shower was a little cramped and shower head kept flipping down. We weren't able to tighten the fitting. The narrow drive and tight turning circle into carport necessitated backing in or out for larger vehicle.

Fantastic location

Lovely property however the house needs a thorough clean as quite dusty, carpet needs a deep clean. We couldn't use the BBQ as still had food remnants on the plates.

Good location, tidy house

The bed arrangement was different to what was in the house description which created some issues to us (there are no bunk beds). The house is very small and isnt really equipment for the amount of people it can sleep. Even cooking for 4 people and eating inside required some adjustments. Overall very good location, super close to the beach, nice beds and tidy house. Its more of a "sleep only, spend all your time outside - kinda house".

Great family bach in good location

Nice cosy bach in great location and very clean and comfortable. Vanessa was great to deal with and would definitely come back again. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Tidy, all the little touches Count!

This Bach you noticed all the small things that the owner put out for you like tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, washing powder etc. Kitchen was well equipped and the stove and oven are just as good as what we use at home! Made cooking a breeze. The two things that could have been better was the cleanliness of the shower floor, you could see the dirt on it and would scratch off. And would be good if the door of the upstairs bedroom closed/ door handle worked. Apart from that we will stay again! They cater for animals too! Also a kayak in the back yard and a paddle in the hot water cupboard! Thanks a lot We really enjoyed our stay!

This is a great location with the beach and park within walking distance.

This is a great location with the beach and park within walking distance. We loved being in Nelson. This property was great for the kids, the kitchen was well equipped, it was a bonus having a washing machine. It was great to watch the sunset while sitting on the deck in the evening.
