Cliff and Jenni
‘Selah’ means ‘A Time to Pause and Think’. An apt name for this beautiful home in a quiet yet stunning location. Located in Nelson's premier beach side suburb, with exceptional views over Tahunanui Beach & Tasman Bay, this home offers peace & privacy, all with a tremendous wow factor! Walk to the beach, local eateries & craft brew pubs, or simply recline in the spa and enjoy the view. Tasman Bays outdoor playground and National Parks are at your fingertips! To help us maintain a high standard, the following requests apply: - Please be respectful of our neighbours when using the spa, bbq and deck areas. Reasonable quietness is requested after 10pm outside, and after 11pm inside. - On departure, please leave our house in a tidy condition, similar to how you found it. - Shoes off in the house please. - Please note, our house is not available to corporate bookings. - Video and audio security cameras are installed outside the house. - Guest numbers are limited to that which has been booked and paid for. No additional visitors are allowed without prior acknowledgement of the host. RECENT REVIEW: We were absolutely thrilled with our accommodation in Nelson, Selah Beach House. The house was everything we were expecting and more. Stunning location, beautifully appointed home, spotlessly clean on arrival and everything we needed for our stay was provided. We will certainly recommend this beautiful and luxurious accommodation.
HI! We're Cliff and Jenni. We love our beautiful home in Nelson, and sharing it with others! We love to travel and have been to numerous countries around the world. We always enjoy connecting with people when we travel, and so we make ourselves available to those visiting us, to help where we can. We have three sons, three lovely daughter's in law, and an ever growing number of grandchildren! Family is top priority to us, and as two of our sons live overseas, we travel a lot!
Located within a few minutes walk of Tahunanui beach, virtually every guest who walks in to the house and sees the view exclaims "wow!' Also nearby within easy walking distance are a number of restaurants and cafes. We're within a few minutes drive to central Nelson, and the bus stops right outside. If you visit during the weekend, there is a marvelous market each Saturday in town, that shouldn't be missed! Further afield, the glorious Able Tasman National Park, with it's beautiful walks and beaches.
