"This is a brand new contemporary property that is very tastefully decorated. There’s a great garage downstairs to park in with ample room. One excellent thing for us is that it has a very well appointed kitchen with high end appliances. The hob is induction and the dishwasher actually gets the dishes very clean. There’s even a large wine fridge. The property is fairly easy walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and bars in downtown Nelson. When next innNelson I would definitely rent this...

10/10 Excellent
"The Sails Nelson was absolutely amazing. Not only is the location central and within a quick walk to local cafes, restaurants, and the city centre; but the staff are super friendly, accomodating, and helpful. If I could give the Sails Nelson more then 5 stars, I most definitely would!"
