We are a family of 5 - 2 adults and 3 kids 14, 9 & 7. The house was incredible. Better than the photos! It was so nice...we didnt actually want to leave and do activities! We just wanted to sit on that balcony and gaze at the view. The house was perfectly set out and very well equipped. Everything that we needed was there. The 14yo had the sofa bed, which he said was very comfortable. The sheets were easy to find. Beach towels were provided. It was a very enjoyable stay and wish we had stayed longer. We will definitely return to this house when we come back to Nelson and recommend it to our friends. ##### Kirstin N.
