Great hospitality and warm welcome from our host Paulina who directed us through SMS to the property, waited for us on the drizzling rain as we arrived late in the evening. The studio has everything we need and spacious for the 3 of us. The little pond by the studio reminds us of Monet's garden in France.:)

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was spotless, cozy, and to our delight, came with free chocolates 🍫. It’s a little outside the city, but that made it peaceful and relaxing — plus, there’s a Foursquare store just 600m away for convenience. We also enjoyed the lovely touch of fresh home-grown lemons and oranges. Tom is such an amazing and thoughtful host, which made our experience even better. Highly recommend!

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.
