The Nest in The Wood (with free fibre WiFi)
The Nest in The Wood is a detached two bedroom house in the quiet residential neighbourhood of The Wood, only a 10 minute walk to Nelson's rich array of cafes, shops and restaurants.
This two bedroomed house is fully equipped to ensure that it feels like a home away from home. The sunny living room has windows to the north and east ensuring all day sun with views of the flower filled garden. This quiet sunny spot is a wonderful place to relax with a book, listen to some music via the Bluetooth speaker or watch a DVD or selection of TV channels on Freeview on the 32" flat screen TV. The TV has Smart Vu so you can watch You Tube, Netflix (own account required), etc. The living/dining/kitchen area is an open plan L shape adding to sociability. The dining table seats up to 6 people.
The brand new kitchen is clean and tidy and fully equipped with a ceramic hob, full size oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster and Nespresso machine.
Pantry basics are provided along with a selection of locally produced goodies including Sublime plunger coffee, Pic's Peanut Butter, Tasman Ridge Olive Oil, Adventure Kitchen dukkah, gourmet mustard, jam and chutney. However if you've forgotten anything the nearest supermarket is only a couple of minutes away and the Milton St Dairy, Milton St fish and chip shop or the Sprig and Fern pub are just 100m down the road.
The two bedrooms have comfortable queen sized beds and feature professionally laundered top quality hotel-style crisp white cotton sheets. Each bedroom has a built in wardrobe, bedside tables and bedside lights.
The bathroom features a shower, a separate bath, a sink with storage below, a towel rail, extractor fan and mirror. The separate toilet is next to the bathroom.
Next to the kitchen there is a laundry with washing machine and laundry tub. The back door leads to an outside clothes line for drying laundry, and washing powder is provided.
The peaceful flower filled garden wraps around the house on 3 sides so gets all day and afternoon sun. There is an outdoor dining table and chairs and small gas BBQ.
There is a single garage and parking outside the house.
