Denise and Michael were consummate hosts. The unit was spotless and very well appointed. The decor and amenities were better than was expected. We were delighted with our Napier stay.
Lovely very modern apartment with killer views all over Tasman bay . Even whrn sittjng up in bed having a morning cuppa.Great spot with all the gears. Will have to book again forbour next Nelson trip.
We thoroughly enjoyed our one month stay at Aqua Heights! We fell in love with the place and wished we could stay longer. The studio apartment was very well appointed - clean and modern. The view of the harbour and the Tasman Bay is to die for. Nelson is a great town - easy to get around and friendly people. Lots of things to do such as the Abel Tasman Coastal Trail, wine touring in Marlborough and kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds and more. Thank you to our hosts Maree and Craig for making us feel welcome and comfortable. I hope we will be back soon! Jessie and Allan

Pleasant accommodation
Pleasant accomodation with great views. Everyone has different interpretation of what luxury is, for us, more thought could be put into the guests experience and improving overall quality of such as, the master bed.

Great Views, Comfortable Spot
Fresh modern studio apt, fully equipped and functional. Lovely sunny balcony/patio with great views and sunsets. Starter necessities were thoughtfully provided. Unit wd work best for a couple, though you might manage with a small child or two. Other permanent occupants of the building (one couple) were friendly and helpful. In a choice neighbourhood and close enough to town without being in it.
