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 views were spectacular and the Lookout was cosy and yet spacious. We had everything we could possibly want to hand and absolutely loved hanging out on the deck or the living room soaking up the view.
