Mark and John were perfect hosts with endless information about what was in and around the local area. They showed great patience in accommodadting our off and on arrival time! The house was magnificent and the space we had in the garden rooms was fantastic. We honestly couldn't ask them to change anything. Lovely stay and would while heartedly advise anyone to stay here if visiting Nelson.

Great host, very helpful. Immaculate unit which has been recently stylishly refurbished I understand. Unusual to see a hob in there as well plus a microwave. Didnt use the hob myself but a great addition for someone who wants to cook their own meals rather than rely on the very limited food offerings. Would definately stay here again.

From the minute you book, you are assured of a warm welcome. On arrival the key was in the door with a welcome note. Just walked in and made ourselves at home. Extremely well equipped with tea coffee washing up liquid, towels and washing powder. Phones in all the units mean you can call other guests or the managers who are immediately available! Probably the first accommodation I have actually stayed in with washing machine and dryer within the unit! Gas barbecue meant we could have a barbecue...

Awesome stay. So peaceful. Easy to find off the Route 6 to Motueka from Richmond so perfect if you are driving North West to Nelson and then onto Picton. Rabbit Island beach is at the end of the road.

Spacious and clean room in the lovely town Nelson. The owner was really helpful for us when we were worrying about the ferry and the weather too - we made it across the strait in one piece lol! He was great to interact with and all of the staff were very helpful with recommendations for the area.
The TV and cooking amenities were very good too. Thanks for a lovely stay

We stayed at the Kimi Ora for three nights during a hiking trip to Abel Tasman National Park. Views are amazing, and the rooms are comfortable. We also ate at the restaurant (Vegan/Vegetarian only) which was also good.
