    Kellie G. - Feb, 2024

  • Throughly enjoyed my full 6 day stay here. Everything that was needed for an easy and comfortable stay was provided. The place was comfy and cosy and had the best views from the sunrise till the sunset. A beautiful set up inside and very clean. The spa pool was put to good use for relaxation. Great location and just a short drive from the city and beaches. The hosts were very responsive and helpful which made it an easy stay. I highly recommend staying here if you want a peaceful and scenic stay in Nelson. Thank you once again for a lovely stay! Have a fantastic new year :)

    Jasmine T. - Nov, 2023

  • Thank you so much for all your assistance with our booking at the Ocean Spa Vista. It was a gorgeous house that both my friend and I agreed we would happily hire again. I appreciated how flexible you guys were with us possibly having an extra person stay. It was a massive couple of days for our children performing in Te Mana Kuratahi so to be able to go back to such a beautiful house was the icing on top.

    Belinda R. - Nov, 2023

  • Comfortable with a fantastic view! The view was beautiful when the tide was up, close to town, comfortable and a great sized tv! Perfect weekend get away for myself and my fiancé.

    Zhang - Sep, 2023

  • Nice place

    Mike - Sep, 2023

  • Beautiful place right on the water! The driveway is steep so if you have a car I’d recommend parking at the bottom of the driveway. But the actual place was STUNNING. The water, the night sky and the peacefulness was just what we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the gardens are beautiful! Would definitely recommend! ☺️

    Shayna - Sep, 2023

  • We have used Mara, Ola, Jarrod & Rob.'s places several times and they are always presented well and communication is easy.

    Kasey - Sep, 2023

  • The house was lovely, clean, well equipped and the view was amazing. The spa pool could have been a bit warmer but other than that it was the perfect way to spend a weekend away with my fiancé. We would book again if we go back to Nelson.

    Chelsea - Sep, 2023

  • The views were stunning, loved that we were able to have a spa and watch the sunset. The house was clean and well equipped. Gas BBQ was a handy addition. The drive is super steep but we were fair warned and there was plenty parking at the bottom of the drive. We visited in August so the house was cold when we arrived but there is an excellent heat pump and wall heaters to make it cosy. The shower was fantastic, I need shower pressure like that at home!! Host's were very accommodating! Friendly neighbours also. We can't wait to visit again.

    Anna M. - Aug, 2023

  • Great location, stunning views, so relaxing! Really comfy beds and great water pressure in the shower. The spa pool was awesome.

    Lynn H. - Jul, 2023

  • Lovely place to stay just a couple mins drive out of central Nelson. Place was spotless clean, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, lovely hot spa pool to enjoy with a fantastic view. The driveway is very steep as they say but we didn't have any issues navigating, even with a large rental car! Would recommend having a car though as there is not much in easy walking distance. Also recommend earplugs at night - the house is not on the road but unfortunately a bit of traffic noise does travel up from the highway. And an eye mask as the blinds are not black-out : ) However these are things we would normally have on a trip anyway so we didn't have any inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again!!

    Barbara P. - Apr, 2023

  • Thank you very much our stay was catered to perfectly will definitely be coming back. The hosts made this stay very helpful an enjoyable perfect in every way will definitely be coming back

    Anita T. - Apr, 2023

    beautiful place. love it! everything as described. wished I had stay a day more . only set back was the challenging sloping driving up to the unit.
    Holiday Nelson
  • We enjoyed staying at Atawhai. It was a great location for our ticky touring around Nelson lakes, Moutere and the Able Tasman. The property was reasonably noisy with the main road into Nelson going right past the property. We did not enjoy the continual traffic noise.

    Rachel S. - Jan, 2023

    Glad you enjoyed the location and sorry that road noise was an issue during your stay.
    Holiday Nelson
  • We loved this house, the view was stunning and the house was charming. An easy drive into town and situated in a very lovely part of the city. We would highly recommend it, We absolutely loved our stay and the house, it was just perfect.

Such a beautiful spot, house was clean.. driveway was a little steeper than originally thought with a bigger vehicle it can be a struggle but over all a gorgeous place to stay.. nice and close to the city! Thank you! Lovely place to stay we all enjoyed our time there although the weather wasn’t fantastic we managed to squeeze in a hour in the spa and lots of time to relax.

    Tessa S. - Jul, 2022

  • Great spot to stay with stunning views and close to the city. I would stay he again for sure!

    Phil H. - Jul, 2022

  • Perfect location. Lovely home. The spa was lovely too. There were some warm blankets missing from the kids room but I contacted the company who were in touch very quickly. We ended up leaving the heat pump on which worked out good. This was a much needed break for our family and I really enjoyed my stay.

    Suzanne W. - Jun, 2022

  • Beautiful view and lovely quirky chalet. Lovely to sit and watch the sun set in the spa and the heat pump kept the house cosy. Very handy to town (easy walk or bike along path) and attractions like cable bay.

    Kirin H. - Jun, 2022

  • Great location, great hosts and a really lovely place to stay definitely recommend We loved our stay, thanks so much!

    Arihia C. - Jun, 2022

  • Hi there! Thank you so much for the accomodation, we really enjoyed it and it was a beautiful place to stay, and was exactly what we needed- some peace and quiet! We will definitely be recommending to friends and will look out for this place when we’re back in Nelson. Thank you!

    Bodhi and Arihia C. - Jun, 2022

  • Lovely view, great hot tub.

    Gabriela G. - Jun, 2022

  • Nice property, sub service and location The property itself is nicely furnished, well appointed with great views out across the estuary.

    Karen W. - Jun, 2022

  • Nice tidy house which worked well for a short stay for our family, including 2 children. Town end of Atawhai. Limited privacy in double room upstairs as no wall or door, just small privacy screen. Coffee machine was good and we enjoyed an evening spa. House has everything you need but nothing extra to make it homely like blankets, books or toys for kids.

    Diana G. - May, 2022

  • Thanks so much for allowing us to postpone our Nelson holiday from August last year and for being so accommodating thorough the seemingly endless lockdowns. It has been such a treat to get away and enjoy this beautiful part of the country. Ocean Spa Vista was perfect for us - just the right space/size etc and a very comfortable bed!! Close enough to town but far enough away from to be caught up in the hustle and bustle.

    Gill & Kevin A. - May, 2022

  • Hi :-) Absolutely loved this place. Exactly how it was described, easy to access and very clean. The room downstairs requires more blankets as it gets very cold. Have recommended to others and would stay again. Thanks again. Kind Regards, Teresa

    Teresa F. - May, 2022

    Hi Teresa, Thank you for your feedback. I will share this with the whole team in order to improve our offering to guests and make sure we'll have extra blankets added. It's been our pleasure to host you and we'd love to host you again, next time you come to visit our beautiful region! :-) Our regards, Mara and the Team at Holiday Nelson
