    Nothing. It was all first class. The lane up to the property was a little scary, but well worth the effort, and the second time up was fine. Once up, the views were spectacular.

    The location and views from the property were beautiful. The breakfast was excellent, all cooked by the owner and it was delicious. The dining room with the table set fro breakfast was stunning.

    The hotel is in a fabulous location. It's a little bit scary arriving at night because it's tucked away, but the views in the morning were spectacular. The room was spacious and the owner could not have been more accommodating. A lovely overnight stay.

    We feel there should be a refrigerator in every guest room. Guest parking not ideal. Several steps to negotiate from car park to accommodation. The road to the property was somewhat challenging and should probably be avoided in the dark.

    Excellent breakfast. Superb view. Really comfortable bed!

    The street to the property is indeed steep but anyone who knows how to drive can manage that. No bumps when we used it.

    Fantastic stay just 20min from Nelson city centre, with an unforgettable view of the bay. Our room was directly on the huge wooden patio. Very comfortable bed, clean room with all the amenities. Great host with lots of advice. I highly recommend it.

    It’s pretty remote, there was no welcome and the outside is very scruffy - so you’re starting to feel a bit concerned given it’s at the expensive end of the spectrum for B&B accommodation. Plus, little things are missing - no tissues, no comfy chairs in the large room, just a couple of tea and coffee bags. And $7 for a small beer and over $40 for a bottle of local wine! Most places at this price would throw a bottle in.

    The view from the patio/bedroom window is awesome. The bed was supremely comfortable. The bathroom was superb. Breakfast was pretty good.

    Nothing really - it was lovely. However, there were two things out of the control of the hosts that I will mention. One night the rain set in, and with it came very low cloud cover that was so thick I had a lot of difficulty navigating up the very narrow and winding road to their hilltop location. It was actually very frightening in the dark as it was a dirt road with no lights. The second issue was the gigantic ditch in front of their driveway. It was extremely deep as I drove off the main road up into their driveway. I was afraid of scraping the underbelly of my rental vehicle.

    The temporary hosts, Tim and Lorna, were very accommodating and helpful. The huge wooden deck was a great place to relax and dry laundry. The views were spectacular! Loved the big sit down dining table at breakfast time. Breakfasts were yummy - Tim even fried some tomatoes to go with my eggs one morning. Outstanding privacy - I barely bumped into other guests. The spa tub was awesome - I needed that after all my mountaineering aches and pains.
