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!

What a gem we stumbled upon! We loved everything about our stay in the cottage. It was well equipped and had absolutely everything we needed, and even more. Great value for money. The biggest highlight for us was the wonderful garden just outside our door, with a lovely artificial pond (by the lovely host Paulina). It felt secluded and peaceful even though we were in the middle of the city. Location was great - within walking distance of the city and nice walks. Paulina the host was friendly and lovely. We felt right at home.

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.
