What an awesome place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our one month stay at Aqua Heights! We fell in love with the place and wished we could stay longer. The studio apartment was very well appointed - clean and modern. The view of the harbour and the Tasman Bay is to die for. Nelson is a great town - easy to get around and friendly people. Lots of things to do such as the Abel Tasman Coastal Trail, wine touring in Marlborough and kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds and more. Thank you to our hosts Maree and Craig for making us feel welcome and comfortable. I hope we will be back soon! Jessie and Allan

Great Views, Comfortable Spot

Fresh modern studio apt, fully equipped and functional. Lovely sunny balcony/patio with great views and sunsets. Starter necessities were thoughtfully provided. Unit wd work best for a couple, though you might manage with a small child or two. Other permanent occupants of the building (one couple) were friendly and helpful. In a choice neighbourhood and close enough to town without being in it.
