Lemon Tree Cottage was very well located, in a quiet street near parks and CBD and also routes in and out of Nelson. The cottage was spacious and very comfortable with a lovely open plan kitchen / family area opening out onto a private sunny deck and backyard which was fully fenced. This was perfect for my small dog who came with us. All in all it was a very relaxing stay and Lemon Tree Cottage provided every amenity that we required.

The house is very pleasant to stay in, nicely decorated, good bathroom and bedrooms. Kitchen well equipped and an interesting variety of local 'tasters' in the fridge and cupboards. Outdoor area is good, and the BBQ works well. The only thing is the height of the microwave, as it is on top of the fridge I was very aware of lifting down hot dishes. It needs and new can opener.

Nice little cottage, lovely comfortable beds, excellent power shower and very well in fact extremely well equipped kitchen. Would benefit from a upgrade of the living room furniture and the outside table could do with a sun parasol and also garden loungers would be good, but overall a lovely place to stay indeed
Response from VrboOwner on 20 March 2020
Thanks for your feedback - it is always useful to know where I can improve the comfort of the cottage for future and returning guests! I had already earmarked that the sofas/coffee table were looking a little tired, so these will be replaced in the next month or so. No problem to add some comfy garden chairs and a sun umbrella.

About the host

Hosted by Roz Speirs

Host profile image
I have been welcoming guests to my holiday homes since 2004. I take great pride in renovating, decorating and maintaining each property to a high standard to ensure that they provide a comfortable home away from home for guests.

I emigrated to New Zealand from Scotland in 2002 attracted by Nelson’s wonderful climate and lifestyle. In addition to running the holiday homes, Roz is a glass artist (www.clarityglass.co.nz). I live close by so am on hand to sort out any little problems that might arise.

Having rented many baches and holiday homes I know what’s important to guests when renting a holiday home: cleanliness, a relaxing outdoor space, comfortable beds and top quality linen for a great night’s sleep, and provision of the “little things” like pantry basics, kitchen roll, first aid kits and sharp kitchen knives!

Why they chose this property

Top 3 reasons to choose Lemon Tree Cottage:

Located in cul-de-sac, so no traffic noise, just peace and quiet, but only a short stroll to Nelson city centre
Free, unlimited fibre WiFi
Plenty of space for either couples or families, inside and outside

What makes this property unique

The well stocked pantry includes a selection of locally made boutique products.
