Situated in Nelson, less than 1 km from Tahunanui Beach and 3.9 km from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson, Beach side Apartment Nelson features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. This apartment provides a tennis court as well as barbecue facilities. The property is non-smoking and is located 4.2 km from Trafalgar Park. This is a beautiful property! The host thoughtfully stocked the kitchenette frige with everything you'd want for a quick breakfast: yogurt, multigrained bread, juice, fruit, jam, milk, butter. The pantry also had oatmeal and cold cereal and there was a small selection of tea and a coffee maker that used pods. We went to a couple of take-away places for dinner. The views from this place are stunning! It is also evident that a skillful ceramic artist lives here...his (and maybe her) work appears along the path to the house which is a bit steep but navigable. The art is also on display inside the well appointed room. It is wonderful to wake up to a view of the ocean! We were comfortable and slept well. Nice bath with environmentally conscious soaps and shampoos.
