Ātaahua / beautiful view!
A wonderful spot with an amazing view over Tasman Bay. The house was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable.
We enjoyed a lovely walk up The Cliffs to Princes Drive Lookout and then down to Tahunanui Beach. Great coffee at Raglan Roast Tahunanui and take out at The Sands Fish and Chip Shop.
Thank you to the owners! Would highly recommend this place for a stay in Nelson.

Stunning views of Nelson Bay and Abel Tasman National Park to the north. Several gorgeous sunsets and sunrises during our 2-week stay. Very comfortable living in the house. Vaulted ceilings make it feel even bigger than it is. All the amenities are included. Easy access to Nelson shopping. Drive up to house is a bit steep and driveway is a little awkward, but we didn't notice after a few days. You get great exercise walking pathways in neighborhood.

With a few more touches this would be a 5+.
With a few more touches this would be a 5+. It really needs a deep clean (cobwebs in corners) and the worn out furniture in the living room should be replaced. We have had paper towels and kleenex provided in all other rentals this trip and also had to buy our own dish detergent . The view is magnificent and was certainly enjoyed by all.

I think the views are better than any of the pictures in the profile. Comfortable house, only minor issue is the the two rooms on the ends didn't have very effective drapes or blinds so it got bright early inside.

The property was just fabulous, the view looking out over the water was amazing! The house was well equipped and beds were comfortable although a few more essential items would have been great (eg some instant coffee and perhaps a bottle of milk) but other than that it was a great stay and we will be back!
