About this property

Enchanting cottage with pool

3 Bedroom cottage with pool, perfectly positioned between Nelson city and the beach, 5 minutes drive either way.

2 double beds and one single bed. We can accommodate more guests on request.

Open kitchen and living area is great for entertaining friends with a bbq and alfresco dining on the deck around the 6 seater table.

Coeliac safe kitchen utensils available on request

The shallow swimming pool is one metre deep, ideal for children finding their confidence in the water or adults needing a lazy chill out spot to float around and escape from the summer heat.

Bathroom with bath and shower, and seperate WC.

Fully fenced section so kids can roam safely. The cottage is right beside a small reserve perfect for children to kick a ball, have a swing or a little explore, it is very safe and within earshot of the deck.

Hire bikes to make use of the railway reserve cycle path for an easy 10 minute bike ride into town and explore some of the many cycle trails or mountain biking routes nearby.

EXTRAS: We include linen and towels at no extra cost.
We do not charge a cleaning fee, with the expectation that the the dishes will be done and the house will be left clean.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Van Berkel

Host profile image
After spending 15 years in the UK, France, Italy and other Mediterranean countries, we finally settled back in our homeland, NZ. We chose Nelson for its mix of maritime/mountain environments as both make our hearts sing.
Although we have explored here for many years before settling, we are still discovering new things and love this region for its diverse offerings.

Why they chose this property


You can see out to the mountains, catch a glimpse of the bay, feel secluded yet be close to shops, the beach and the city. You can be on a fast road out of town in 1 minute and are just 5 minutes from the airport. Close to everything!



What makes this property unique

Glynton, named by its brick layer builder from the 1950's, mean Valley Fortress in Welsh. We find its quirky little area's quite charming, and love what each season has to bring here.
The deck and kitchen layout is made for entertaining, the pool is made for chilling. Children instantly feel the magic here, maybe you will too... Perhaps its all the medicinal herbs planted around the property.
