Spacious 2 bedroom lodge like house on the side of a hill in North Nelson. Super quiet with a gorgeous night sky. We stayed in the largest unit that had a full kitchen and laundry plus a large living room. A comfortable stop for the 4 of us after the bustle of Wellington. Stayed after taking the ferry to Picton and then driving through wine country. Mark is a great host!

The look and style of the place, the garage, the security and ease of use of the security. Inside was just beautiful, definitely home from home and all the little touches such as shower gel, washing machine tablets, salt and sauces, tea, coffee and sugar all provided. The pegs for the washing, the balcony to sit out on, the quietness of the place, it really was wonderful and would definitely stay again.

I had my heart set on Joya Garden cottage the moment I saw it, and it did not disappoint. Everything about it was picture-perfect; Paulina decorated the place beautifully; it had everything we needed and more. The location was secluded yet within walking distance from the town centre. Paulina was a wonderful host and made us feel at home; we would definitely book again should we ever come to Nelson. Thank you

A real treat. Warm hosts that actively reached out, keen to assist. A dream home with everything you need and more. Comfy rooms, master bedroom comes with ensuite toilet. Large living room with smart TV, a solid blue tooth speaker, and even a ping pong table facilitated post dinner activities. Large and well equipped kitchen for the travelling MasterChef wannabe. And a superb washer-dryer combo helped with my end trip laundry situation. Worth every penny. City centre location made it a great place to explore neighbouring towns/vineyards.

    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.
