Fantastic home in the heart of Nelson

Our family of 5 stayed here during the school holidays and we had such a great time. Location was brilliant, with just a 20 min walk to the centre of town. Very quiet location with super comfy beds, well equipped and great wifi for those rare moments when the kids played tech :) Wish we stayed longer .. 9 days just wasn't enough

Villa Maitai

The villa worked well as we were in Nelson for a family wedding and it was in a great area for walking to town and being near other family. Plus it had cool artworks.

Christmas in New Zealand

This was our family’s first trip to NZ and we enjoyed every single moment spending it in Nelson. This home was in a perfect location. close distance to downtown, groceries and Center of New Zealand Hike. It was so comfortable for our group to stay. If I was to make a suggestion it would be to spruce up the yard space and deck for outdoor activities. We will definitely recommend it and hope to be back someday soon.
