About the host
Hosted by Holiday Nelson
We are professional property managers - looking after visitors to Nelson is what we do :-)
We have a passion for the Nelson lifestyle and take great enjoyment from sharing the best of this experience with visitors to our region Like you, we love to travel and experience places first hand and we appreciate the value of having personal space, privacy and a comfortable retreat from the busyness of traveling each day. We also know that in order to really make the most of your travels, you need more than just a roof over your head. This is where we come in…
We have partnered with homeowners throughout our beautiful region, creating a hand-picked portfolio of very special homes that we offer and look after. These are homes we’d love to call home or holiday home ourselves, homes we are proud to offer to you for your stay in our region. When you book with us, you have our assurance that the homes will be as described and photographed and we’ll be there to provide you with all the support you need prior to and during your stay.
Professional housekeeping & Linen Laundering
At Holiday Nelson we take a thorough, robust and uncompromised approach toward cleanliness and hygiene practices for your and our families peace of mind... because nothing less will do.
All high contact, food preparation and hard wet surfaces are hygienically cleaned and sanitised and our linens are professionally laundered at 80ºC, with bed linens further ironed at 120ºC by one of New Zealand's leading laundry experts, leaving them crisp, clean & superbly comfortable!
Hoping to host you soon,
Jarrod and Peta-Jane, Holiday Nelson
