Country Retreats on Ranzau 1, hotel in Nelson

Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

The views from the property are spectacular, plenty of ocean views and beautiful sunsets. A clean, spacious property and for winter visitors it was heated very quickly.

All vacation homes in Nelson
Looking for a vacation home?
Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Everything in the rooms is really considered. Excellent layout. Very clean. Staff were incredibly friendly. I had coffee and breakfast in the morning both of which were really good too, surprisingly so because sometimes that can be a bit of a let down in a hotel. Nelson has some excellent coffee spots and this was just as good as anywhere.
