Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a heated pool, Country Retreats on Ranzau 1 is set in Nelson. This holiday home features a garden. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

The Wheelhouse Inn features five self-contained houses and apartments with spectacular sea views, from Nelson's Port Hills to the lovely Tasman Bay. A 5-minute drive from Tahunanui Beach, it offers free WiFi access, free on-site parking and barbecue facilities.

The private and quietness in the area was a big plus during our stay. The view from the main deck was great and relaxing. Cleanliness on the main deck was on a very high standard which made out stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Plus: Love the maritime theme around the house and the story of how all started for Ralph and Sally. 😊

    We had a night of luxury after 2 months sleeping in a little camper van, so glad we chose Sails. Modern and spacious. Very well located and quiet. The bed was like a cloud, large TV with access to Netflix, fast WiFi. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you need, milk was left in the fridge for us and we had use of the laundry if needed. The owner is lovely and gave us lots of great recommendations. Really loved our stay here, so wish we could have stayed longer!

    The host was very friendly and welcoming. The host provided an excellent breakfast in the main house dining area, and great conversation. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The decor was very nice The room had a garden outlook, and was cool during hot days There was off street parking. The location is in a lovely old area of Nelson, behind the cathedral, with old villas, and big trees. Very quiet. Nelson city centre is just down the road
