Stop over while travelling down country.
This is a fantastic spot to base yourself while visiting the Nelson district. Close to supermarkets, gas stations and the water front. Boat Shed is just down the hill! The house does not disappoint. everything you need is here.

Family stay
Our family really enjoyed our trip to sunny Nelson. Well positioned Bach, easy access to city, region and beach. Very tidy and well presented home, only drawback is the road noise. Otherwise excellent.

Princes St stay
We really enjoyed staying in this part of Nelson and at this property. The house was very light and tidy with simple but very tasteful decor. Close to central city but also Tahunanui Beach and all the outer attractions. The road can be busy and noisy at times but isn't too noticeable when windows and doors are shut. House does heat up during the day so keeping blinds down all day is essential but Air-Con is really good to compensate for this. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay at Tipi Haere Holiday Home. It was an excellent base and we enjoyed basking in the sunshine that was streaming through the windows while watching the harbour below.

Cleanest VR by far. Views are stunning.
Having rented dozens of homes through VRBO, this was the cleanest by miles. The views from front and back are stunning. The beds and furniture are comfortable and modern. Appliances are new and not beat up and junky like a lot of rentals. The street can get busy and parking can feel tight when cars are racing up the road but that seemed to be for only a short time each day. The kitchen could use a few more dishes. Would be a good idea to have an extra key for guests who might be doing separate activities or in situations of needed home repair. Those are our only complaints so....overall, great.
