Review

A lot of dust on windowsills, long hair on the floors. Hard job to find the rubbish bins down the back had to ask the neighbours. Could do with a sign on the gate. Great to have the washing machine and dishwasher but we didn't spend much time at the complex.

Unit review

Very nice unit. The lighting was a bit dismal with a few bulbs either not working or missing. The lock on the bathroom door was broken, which was very awkward for obvious reasons. As much as we enjoyed our stay we felt that at the price charged, the standard should have been higher.

Had a grate time. Enjoyed the property as always at Monaco. Grate location. will be back.

Two small things that could be addressed. Top left hand seaward window latch broken. And toilet kept running after the flush. Parking was good and for the most part right outside the door. As the booking was made from Australia by my daughter there was some slight issues getting in on the day, but ended up all good. Thanks for sharing your property with us. Cheers Ray & Jo-Anne.

Lovely cottage in a great location, in a really nice, quiet complex.

Lovely cottage in a great location, in a really nice, quiet complex. We stayed for 3 weeks and it felt like a home from home. We have family in Nelson, and would not hesitate to book again for our return trips.

Fantastic location, very central and a lovely outlook.

Fantastic location, very central and a lovely outlook. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage but it may feel a bit dark in the winter time. We enjoyed the terrace with the fruit trees and the nice facilities. The pool was a great asset too.
