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.

Senior ladies getaway

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.

Beautiful home

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!

Tremendous!

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!

Views for days!

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!
