Reviews: Our house has been occupied by short term guests for the past six years. So we thought we'd share some of their reviews:
Exceptional Views over Tasman Bay Tahuna Beach! Lovely home and suitable for 3 couples , all with own amenities, plus one room downstairs. Plenty of seating. Exceptionally sunny in living areas and main bedroom. Wonderful to just sit on the decking and take in the views, and the activities on the water. Also close to walkway, down to the beach. Recommend.
The house is wonderful and has a very complete equipment. Especially the view over the bay was impressive. Thank you for the nice days!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The house was well presented, well equipped , beautiful and clean, a great place for a group of good friends to gather. Thankyou
Great stay Great place for us to stay as two family groups, too busy to enjoy the spa but the views are fantastic! Thanks we had a lovely time. Too busy to use the spa but enjoyed the view everyday!

The home has a million dollar view of the Nelson beach area and the hot tub provided some relaxing moments after being out and active all day. Overall had a great time and found everyone accommodating and helpful.
We were absolutely thrilled with our accommodation in Nelson, Selah. The house was everything we were expecting and more. Stunning location, beautifully appointed home, spotlessly clean on arrival and everything we needed for our stay was provided. We will certainly recommend this beautiful and luxurious accommodation. Cheers
For somewhere with expansive and ever-changing sea views, this lovely house excels. Well-equipped, and with many thoughtful touches, this house can accommodate an extended family or number of friends. It is a real privilege to stay in this home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your lovely place with that amazing view - thank you. It provided a wonderful venue for our family reunion, with two of us from Australia and three from England. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodated us beautifully and the well-equipped kitchen enabled the preparation of some memorable meals together
Views amazing and house lovely clean and tidy. Great place would definitely come back. Thanks
This is a lovely property with stunning views over Tahunanui Beach and beyond. The standard of decor and furniture in the house is very high, and the spa is a great touch. Would definitely stay again if in the Nelson region.
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Selah Beach view in Nelson, the house was everything we expected and more, very tidy, and well equipped, we had a great break away. The views from the lounge and deck were absolutely spectacular! We will definitely be back.
All fantastic - we loved the house and the views and will highly recommend thanks.
We had an amazing family time at Selah Beach View and are very happy with the service you provided. On the sunny days we had nice walks along the beach and on the rainy day it was cosy to stay inside. The property offers sufficient privacy for all guests, is well maintained, comes with all the necessary equipment, and has a cosy vibe to it. If we were to come back to Nelson, we would definitely consider this place again.
We absolutely loved it Beautiful house stunning view and the spa just finished it off I’m already planning my next stay!

Great view as stated. The space was clean and well kept up. Had nice amenities. It was great to walk to the marina for dinner and coffee, not too far away. A little noisy but wasnt an issue.
We were delighted with our stay at Selah. Communication was excellent and the home certainly lived up to the photos online. Beautiful views and gorgeous furnishings and interior. It was a real haven from what has been a very busy last few months and the "feel" of the home was just what we needed. Thank you Cliff and Jenny.
Really enjoyed our stay - especially dining on the decking area with fabulous views across the bay. Great location for walking down to the lovely beach.
We loved the home, location and view. This home was fun, and very comfortable. Great advise for food and fun was given by the host. If we decide to return to Nelson we will definitely try to book this again.
4 good friends, all between 65 and 75, had a 2 day getaway to just have a few nice days together. This was the perfect spot, where we each had our own bedroom, with 3 bathrooms, a beautiful view from the lounge and deck and a spa pool to relax in. It was wonderful.
We loved everything about this property. The beds were very comfy, the linen beautiful, the views incredible. We would definitely stay again and oh did I mention the main bedroom- very hard to get out of bad.
We had a great time staying at this beautiful home. The view was stunning and it had everything we needed. There’s a path down to the beach that’s right beside the home, about 10ish minutes, fairly good incline on the way back but not too much trouble. Overall a wonderful spot!
We loved our stay. We used the path from the park to walk to local restaurants, enjoyed the views each evening and morning while we explored Abel Tasman during the day. The house had everything we needed for our family with kids.
We loved this house and our stay in the area! Such a beautiful house with amazing views! We took advantage of eating and relaxing on the deck while admiring the views. Great house and great location!
The Selah Retreat was amazing. Clean, spacious, light and airy! The views and sunsets were amazing. This experience made our time in Nelson extremely special!
We loved our week in this extremely comfortable house! The views are tremendous, the kitchen is well equipped, the furniture is so comfortable, beautiful and interesting art and decorations throughout, and the place feels like a home, not just a rental. The master bedroom is amazing. This home is exactly the type of place that we look for. We loved the Nelson area and can’t wait to come back!
A beautiful and comfortable property with added bonus of cinema room, spa and gorgeous views. Very handy to nearby eateries, beach and family friendly activities. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.😁😉👍
A great stay. Spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well supplied with utensils, pots, dishes etc. Enjoyed the surprise additional tv room on the main level. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks Cliff.
Very comfortable home with amazing views from many windows. Everything was very clean. Swift reply from host when I messaged. Would highly recommend to family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! The views of the bay are stunning, and we spent as much time on the deck as possible before the mosquitos arrived. The home was very clean and well stocked. Perfect location for hiking in Abel Tasman and wine tasting at the nearby vineyards. I would not hesitate to book again!
