Long Stay in Nelson
The sunny deck caught our eye while reviewing properties for a month long stay on the North Island. Unit had everything we were looking for with a modest price. We had a fabulous time exploring Nelson and the surrounding area. At every return to our unit , we called it home. A great place to stay
