+Fantastic location in Nelson near the beach, city center and quite accessible to the moutere area (food & wine) and abel tasman park (~1h). House has a lot of character and very spacious as we were alone, kitchen incredibly well equipped. Really nice view.
−Had a bit of ants coming in the window but nothing major!

“Nice place but not as described”
+We understood from the description that we had booked a suite with a living room, bedroom and fully equipped kitchen. In reality it was a small double bedroom with shared other facilities. I contacted the local agent and they helpfully found us an alternative accommodation. Booking.com should be careful about how they describe properties so there is no misunderstanding.
−Room smaller than expected. Supposed to be garden view and in reality it was just a side passage with plants.

“Great property with everything you need and want”
+Spacious, fully equipped, peaceful location of you don’t mind the hills and a great view. Not property related but beware of the sandflies at cable bay - I got bitten 40 times
−The front door lock needs seeing to as it was very stiff, another couple could not gain access so needed to knock on the front door for us to let them in

“Great, I would definitely recommend to others”
+Very well kept, comfortable and has a nice feel about it. I enjoyed seeing the history of the house with the old photos around. It was quite warm without air con but one message to ask for a fan and we had one delivered the next day which was great. Very accommodating.

“Beautiful views though expensive for shared accommodation.”
+The view was exceptional. The piano and furnishings were beautiful.
−It was noisy with other occupants above us, we could hear them walking on their floor/ our ceiling. The duvet was too warm and on the first night there was no thinner cover to put on the bed. We had to ask for one the next day.

“Te Whare Rangi is a special place”
+Te Whare Rangi is a lovingly restored 1857 house situated on a hillside in Britannia Heights overlooking Tasman Bay with stunning views from a porch on the second floor where we watched the sun go down on the nights we stayed in Abel Abode, one of the guest rooms at the rear of the house which also opened onto a private garden. We travel a lot and this property is possibly one of the most exquisite places we've stayed. A private, tranquil escape. Gabriele, one of the property managers greeted us so warmly and made us feel right at home. We loved our stay, the memories will remain indelible.
−There isn't much to improve on -- the house is gorgeous.
