Het uitzicht was geweldig! Een zeer fijne en ruime plek, alles in thema. Een goede en rustige uitvalsbasis om Nelson te verkennen.

Views where just stunning and even in winter the house was very warm, especially the loft

Steep drive, but nessacary

For stunning views, preferably not in the middle of winter, this place is great, kids will love its feel which makes up

7.0

The location is stunning, on top of the hill with amazing views. The loft is a fantastic place to sleep with more spectacular views. The place feels like a boat and my 11-year old loved the whimsical feel of it.

We were there in July, and it got very cold in the loft, even with the small space heater. Electric blankets would be helpful. The bathroom in the basement is very cold and inconveniently located two floors below the bedroom. The hairdryer is broken, which was a problem as we left at 6am in 5°C. The biggest drawback is the lack of a dishwasher, which for the cost, is just not acceptable. The kitchen had basic amenities.
