    Ngakirikiri K. - Apr, 2022

  • Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house! It was the perfect base for us to prepare for the wedding and made everything so easy. We had a wonderful stay - hopefully we can stay again in the future one day! Best wishes, Olivia and Rory (the newly weds)

    Olivia and Rory L. - Feb, 2022

  • We had an amazing stay at Grampians Retreat. The house was excellent with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces and is in a great spot right next to the Grampian Reserve with all of its walks. Not too far from the city either. We would highly recommend this property. Great service from Holiday Nelson as usual.

    Bev F. - Feb, 2021

  • Great stay with family and friends, 9 adults and 1 baby that enjoyed so much the house space. Amazing house, feels like home and so well located to the city centre, parks, gardens.

    Cecilia - Jan, 2021

  • Really enjoyed staying at this lovely home. It was very spacious for nine people, had awesome outdoor spaces for kids and adults and such a superb location to walks and town. Thank you for the good communication and letting us enjoy such a character home in beautiful Nelson.

    Bryce Filleul - Dec, 2020

  • This is a magic spot- perfect for someone coming for an event at Fairfield house, but also perfect for a group wanting to stay in a comfortable and well-furnished place in a great location. Plenty of room, indoors and out. thoroughly recommend

    Chris Hansen - Mar, 2020

  • Hi Team, The property was fantastic, communication from yourselves excellent and MarchFest was another success i think. We look forward to returning next March

    Jaron Burbidge - Mar, 2020

  • Beautiful house in a great location. Short walk to exceptional restaurants. Communication was outstanding. Would definitely book again!

    Jonny Kofoed - Feb, 2020

  • Wonderful, elegant family home that is also very functional and well stocked. Thank you!

    Farrell Carfield - Feb, 2020

  • Grampian Greatness What a beautiful home in such a desirable location. We all loved it!

    Don Sherman - Jan, 2020

  • Hi Thanks for your email. We had a wonderful stay the Grampians Retreat. It is a beautiful house! And the pirate fort was truly fabulous, the kids loved it. A couple of small things, but really only incidental.... There were no dishcloths Some olive oil supplied as well as canola would be great Kitchen was a little disorganised to work in-just in comparison to how wonderful the rest of the house was. A lack of serving spoons, chopping boards hard to find... Struggled to get tv working and sorted but figured it out in the end! I had booked for 4 children so would have been great if sofa bed had been made up As I said, none of these things really a problem, just things that could be improved Loved the showers Very comfy furnishings Unfortunately we broke a wine glass.... Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and hope to stay there again. Thanks

    Katie Bickers - Apr, 2018

  • Thank you for contacting us re our stay which we very much enjoyed.

    Gus van de Roer - Apr, 2018

  • It is a lovely and convenient place if you want to be central to the region and also have easy access to the town. I loved the house very much. It was great for 8 of us.

    L Thirsk - Mar, 2018

    Thanks Lizi, we're really glad that you enjoyed the home & the location! Better suited to larger groups? It's true the home has large & gorgeous entertaining & living areas, but with the 4th bedroom is usually configured as an office/second living & generally we find that our smaller groups love it just as much as our larger ones. And, we do of course price the home lower for smaller groups meaning that the extra space is a benefit that does not add cost :-)

    Guy Starling - Feb, 2018

  • Such a great house in the perfect spot! Thanks team, perfect house for Fairfield wedding! Everyone loved the house!

    Ben Clifton - Dec, 2017

  • Beautiful house in a great location. Everything looked very well maintained. Everything you want or need is there or close by. We will definitely recommend this house and the area. Quiet area but walking distance to restaurant, bars and shops. We enjoyed it a lot!!

    Veronique Ruys - Dec, 2017

  • Thank you so much - we absolutely LOVED the house. It's gorgeous and had absolutely everything we needed and more. Great location, peaceful and quiet, lovely outside area - couldn't have asked for more. If we're back down in Nelson - we'll be in touch again I'm sure!

    Claire Morrison - Nov, 2017

  • We very much enjoyed our stay. You guys were helpful, the house is set up so well for young kids and adults. The house is beautiful and we would 100% return to stay here and recommend it to others.

    R Hodge - Oct, 2016

  • Hi Jarrod & Peta-Jane, We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Grampians Retreat. It was such a beautiful house we would have taken it home with us, given half a chance! Thanks very much. We'll be in touch for our next trip.

    P & S Trowbridge - Oct, 2016

  • Thanks so much. We had a great stay and we loved the house. I am thinking of perhaps hiring it for a family holiday in the future.

    K Wilson - Sep, 2016

  • We really enjoyed staying in the house. It was a curious mix of personal and holiday home ambiance. We are not TV users however for those that are the TV set up is awkward and in winter the office is cold although thanks for having the oil heater available. The radiators that came on in morning were lovely maybe they could be timed to come on in the early evening as the rooms apart from the lounge were quite cold. We would stay again.

    I Meister - Jul, 2016

  • House was amazing! Kitchen is very large and perfect for cooking for a large crew. We had 8 people staying in the house with no problems. We went in the winter but the patio was still beautiful and a big size. We kept the house warm using the beautiful fireplace and hung out in the living area. Hosts were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our needs. All in all a very positive experience and I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area!

    M Gohari - Jul, 2016

  • The home we stayed in was beautiful. We had a wonderful time dining in the outdoor area with a view. We loved our time in Nelson, especially walking through Abel Tasman National Park and seeing dolphins on the way back, swimming at the beach and checking out the shops and cafes. We would definitely use Holiday Nelson again. The service was great - very friendly and efficient!

    N & J Wilson - Mar, 2016

  • Wonderful place to stay.. Very central,,comfortable, relaxing,immaculately turned out. Very enjoyable and will, recommend to family and friends.

    S Wellum - Mar, 2016

  • We just loved our stay at Grampians Retreat. The home was perfect for our needs and in a beautiful location, and conveniently close to town. The service from Jarrod and PJ was great from booking to the arrival, thank you. Please pass on our thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely home. We would love to return.
