Central Nelson: Sunny Private Studio with a view
The best of both worlds! A quiet 1/2 acre sanctuary with extensive views out to sea but only a short distance to town.

The walk back up is steep and requires moderate fitness. Otherwise sit back and drink in the view or wander in the garden. Breakfast of home made muesli/yoghurt and toast.
