Review Score:   10
Summary: Nic and Wayne are the consummate hosts! They were very accommodating (4 fur babies) and their spot was perfect for exploring the Nelson/Tasman Area.It was close to the wineries, other towns/cities, the beaches, and farms. At night, it's super quiet and we got to enjoy seeing the stars and milky way from the comfort of the bedroom.The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and if there's anything you might need, Nic and Wayne are very responsive and ready.The heated floors are a huge bonus!We also enjoyed meeting their horses and pony on the property. Nic also recommended a lot of places and activities to do. Their house manual covers everything from pet-friendly to kid-friendly recommendations.Overall, it was a beautiful retreat in the heart of Nelson/Tasman. 10/10 would recommend.
