Was Nelson for a few days with a friend. The little cottage is a delight, and so handy to everything we wanted to get to. And the view is just amazing…..virtually any time of the day.A few minor issues getting the details of how to access the place, but very quickly and helpfully resolved. Even put the heat pump so that our late at night arrival was to a warm home - great
