Stunning ocean views

Comfortable home with quality amenities and stunning views. The driveway up to the property is steep & turning around is not for the faint- hearted but its all quite negotiable once you learn the knack. A lovely, relaxing stay.

Birthday Getaway

Fantastic view, wonderful warm home. Unfortunate to have prepared dinner but no gas in the bbq. Such a relaxing lovely weekend though which will be remembered.

The view was what drew me to book this house and it did not disappoint! So amazing to wake up to the sun over the bay. Just beautiful. The check in was easy and the host was super responsive. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. The driveway was a bit tricky in our big rig (Ford Ranger 4x4 pickup) — straight up from the street with sharp curve….but that’s how you get that view. Well worth it. Would stay here again for sure!

Retreat treat

Fabulous. A beautiful house with a stunning view. Loved it. The driveway was steep and could do with some lighting on the concrete wall for nighttime guidance. We couldn't find any extra towels. One towel pp was not enough for 5 days. Thank you for the warm accommodation.

Lovely stay in Nelson!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful home. It is well equipped and the view is amazing. It is a short walk to the center of town or to the harbor.
