Villa Maitai

The villa worked well as we were in Nelson for a family wedding and it was in a great area for walking to town and being near other family. Plus it had cool artworks.

Fantastic home in the heart of Nelson

Our family of 5 stayed here during the school holidays and we had such a great time. Location was brilliant, with just a 20 min walk to the centre of town. Very quiet location with super comfy beds, well equipped and great wifi for those rare moments when the kids played tech :) Wish we stayed longer .. 9 days just wasn't enough

Christmas in New Zealand

This was our family’s first trip to NZ and we enjoyed every single moment spending it in Nelson. This home was in a perfect location. close distance to downtown, groceries and Center of New Zealand Hike. It was so comfortable for our group to stay. If I was to make a suggestion it would be to spruce up the yard space and deck for outdoor activities. We will definitely recommend it and hope to be back someday soon.
