Nothing terrible but little niggles annoyed. Spoons- only 2, one soup and one dessert. Shower - high bath edge to step over and water splashed onto the floor.

Clean modern accommodation, close to Nelson city. Just be aware if you book through a third party such as wotif and havent paid in advance, the card you secure your booking with will be charged before arrive. If this card is a credit card, there will be an automatic surcharge added. Not having the option to avoid the surcharge by accepting payment a few hours later at check-in left a sour taste, after what was otherwise a nice stay.
