The apartment was well equipped with microwave, laundry, dryer, stove stop, cooking appliances, utensils etc. Bathroom floor was heated which was a brilliant touch. Staff were attentive and made sure the rooms were ready for our estimated time of arrival. Located centrally to Nelson’s main Center. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

The place was very clean, well-equipped, and clearly designed with care. The location is great and it’s nice and quiet at night. I booked at 7:30 pm for a 9 pm check-in and only later realized the office closed at 8, so I felt nervous and a bit sorry about the timing. Luckily I got a quick and helpful response which made everything easy. At checkout I met a lovely and friendly staff member who even recognized my room right away. It all made me feel really welcome. Highly recommended!

Room to move in accommodation. Sky tv gave great entertainment options, lots of activities (some free) for the kids, beds comfy, clean, and super great staff... nothing was a problem and all service with a smile. Totally worth the trip and i will definitely book again. Great place for families. So close to everything including fishing at the beach. Kids loved the activities on offer. Thanks for an awesome holiday!

Our whole family group could all stay together and the house was set up well for large groups. Having 2 bathrooms was excellent! We had an event at the conference centre so it was very convenient being able to stay right next door to it. Lots for kids to do around the area too.

House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.
