Townhouse Haven - Modern, Spa, close to Nelson Central! Pets welcome.
Everything was wonderful. Only disappointment was the spa not working, but that was due to another group breaking it.

Heritage apartment attached to character home with pool in central Nelson.
Adorable accomodation, cottage-core, like stepping back in time but with modern comforts. Warm and comfortable. Location was great, parking, easy walk to town but quiet neighbourhood. Next time will use the pool!
