Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a pool with a view, garden view and a patio, Oceanview Retreat is situated in Nelson. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The apartment has a hot tub and a lift. I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of Gabi the check in assistant. Stunning apartment and stunning views. Very comfortable and spacious. Great location especially for a family with kids. We didn’t have a car so we would walk to cafes, restaurants, parks, Natureland, the beach and more. The apartment pool was beautiful to swim in. Honestly couldn’t fault the stay here. We will definitely stay here again when I get another chance to visit my family in Nelson. Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.
