Testimonials
Loved the stay here. Cosy, small but everything I needed.
The separate entrance meant total privacy which I always prefer. Great value and will return in summer.
Emily M.
Found the accomodation great, excellent location close to everything. Late check out and baggage storage was hugely appreciated. Thank you both.
Fiona K-D.
This little studio is a real gem. It is compact but actually no more so than some motels. Close to everything I needed. Hosts were great. A good experience.

Was in Nelson on my own for a wedding. This was awesome. Loved this space, felt calm and relaxing - great walks up the Maitai - so beautiful in Spring.
