  • Good morning We enjoyed our stay very much. It is a fantastic location at the edge of the woods and with a sweeping view of Nelson. We also liked the rustic retro style of the house, it reminded me of my grandfather‘s hunting lodge and made me feel younger :-) But, to be fair, hilltop retreat is far more comfortable and better appointed than my grandpas lodge was. Just like in Jan 17 we felt well taken care of by you. We will check out your website first when we are planning our next stay in Nelson. Kind regards, Joern

  • Great spot with great views of the Nelson city and harbour, lovely and peaceful with birdsong and bush around. Comfy beds, spacious house, everything we needed. Loved our stay and would definitely go back.

  • Hi Robert, Sara and Jarrod, We enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Retreat, especially the views, space, character and general cleanliness of the house. It was certainly a unique and memorable house (we have stayed in 7 houses on our travels around the South Island) although we won’t miss that driveway! Thank you, Melanie and family

  • Many thanks guys. Really is a Hilltop Retreat. Very relaxing and peaceful. Yet all the amenities just minutes from the door.
