The Nest in The Wood - peaceful & private, and walking distance to Nelson City

The Nest in The Wood is a detached two bedroom house in the quiet residential neighbourhood of The Wood, only a 10-15 minute walk to Nelson's rich array of cafes, shops and restaurants.

This two bedroomed house is fully equipped to ensure that it feels like a home away from home. The sunny living room has windows to the north and east ensuring all day sun with views of the flower filled garden. This quiet sunny spot is a wonderful place to relax with a book or listen to some music via the bluetooth speaker. The 42" Smart TV has a selection of TV channels plus Netflix (own subscription required) plus a DVD player. The living/dining/kitchen area is an open plan L shape adding to sociability. The dining table seats up to 6 people.

The brand new kitchen is clean and tidy and fully equipped with a ceramic hob, full size oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster plus a Nespresso machine and milk frother.

Pantry basics are provided along with a selection of locally produced goodies including Sublime plunger coffee, Pic's Peanut Butter, local Olive Oil, Adventure Kitchen dukkah, gourmet mustard, jam and chutney. However if you've forgotten anything the nearest supermarket is only a couple of minutes away and the Milton St Dairy, Milton St fish and chip shop or the Sprig and Fern pub are just 100m down the road.

The two bedrooms have comfortable queen sized beds and feature professionally laundered top quality hotel-style crisp white cotton sheets. Each bedroom has a built in wardrobe, bedside tables and bedside lights.

The bathroom features a shower, a separate bath, a sink with storage below, a towel rail, extractor fan and mirror. The separate toilet is next to the bathroom.

Next to the kitchen there is a laundry with washing machine and laundry tub. The back door leads to an outside clothes line for drying laundry, and washing powder is provided.

The peaceful flower filled garden wraps around the house on 3 sides so gets all day and afternoon sun. There is an outdoor dining table and chairs and small gas BBQ.

There is a single garage and parking outside the house.

Special conditions:
No smoking inside property, no parties and no additional overnight guests beyond those requested in the booking.

Extras: Cleaning & Provision of Linen (Required, NZ$100 per stay)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The location of the house is perfect.

The location of the house is perfect. The house is about 5 minutes walk from the town centre, 5 minutes drive from the nearest supermarket and about 10 minutes drive from a great beach. The property was spotless when we arrived and was fully stocked with matching crockery and cutlery and there was even some ‘food’ from local artisan stores. Anybody who rents holiday houses will know this is unusual It’s my nature to be critical but I genuinely cannot find anything I could legitimately com
