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.

Parking was convenient and right outside the room. The host very sweetly left the heater on so that the room was cosy when we checked-in late at night. They also left a small bottle of milk which came in handy. Beach towels were a plus.

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 view was outstanding. Everything in the apartment was exactly as per the pictures. The bed was comfortable, the bird life amazing (tuis, bellbirds, fantails, grey warblers and probably more that I didn't recognise) and did I mention the view? There was even a pair of binoculars which got used a lot! Totally recommend the one bedroom apartment to anyone going to Nelson.

    Aporo Holiday Home was booked for work. We had a few fixers up from Christchurch to work on an install in the area. They came back into the office and commended me on the choice of accommodation. They appreciated each having their own bedroom and space. As well as plenty of room in the kitchen to cook their meals. Don't think they could have got through their week long stay without wifi and that great view though.
