    Because we arrived by public transport we did not have a satnav and it was a bit hard to find the address initially, but total strangers helped us, and thereafter its location was fine.

    The views from the terraced garden of the cabin were superb, especially at dusk. The garden itself was delightful with well made steps and handrail etc. Very private and romantic! The walk into town for the market etc was interesting and gave one a sense of the true place. Hosts very welcoming and helpful. Friendly neighbourhood. Lovely birdsong from very well stocked garden. Very good breakfast which was always replenished. Not too far to walk to lovely sandy beach and very good fish and chips from small shopping parade. We hired bikes for a day and cycled around the bay to Rabbit Island with transport provided by bike hire company back - amazing cycle with birdlife etc. We arrived and left by coach which was reliable and comfortable. External bathroom facilities very good. Cabin was cozy, and well equipped but we only slept in it cos of time of year, lovely weather and daytime exploring.

    An availability of a few pieces of supplemental disposable rubbish bags in the room would be a great addition to consider so that the guests could change the rubbish bin themselves when it becomes full

    Scenic balcony/patio, firm and comfortable bed, wooden floor, amazing design of the room interiors and bathroom, availability of a fan heater, complete provision of toiletries, cool spa pool, close to town centre -- overall pleasant stay. Thanks David and Sandy.

    Limited capacity to prepare even light cold meals due to lack of a kitchen sink. A small kitchen sink & counter area would have made it a 10 rating. For anyone with mobility issues the very steep driveway that you need to walk up would be an issue.

    Beautiful upmarket B&B high on the hill overlooking the Tasman Sea. Wonderful sea views from huge deck. High quality very comfortable recent renovated interior accommodation.

    It was very hot up in the bed at the top of the cabin even with the windows open, I think a fan up there would do wonders and make it much more comfortable.

    They were such lovely hosts, you can tell they have put a huge amount of love and effort into their property. They were super helpful and the cottage we stayed in was lovely and clean. The view is amazing, and we loved the outdoor area with the bean bags and table. We would definitely stay again!

    Nothing to dislike! Yes, there is a bit of a climb to the accommodation but it’s not too bad & definitely worth it for the solitude & views.

    A superb little cabin ideal for a solo traveller wanting their own space but still feeling safe. A lot of attention to detail in a small comfortable space. Superb views and great hosts. I’d certainly recommend this place for a few nights in Nelson.
