'Abel Abode -Te Whare Rangi' - Private Room in Nelson Waterfront
Britannia Heights
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"This was a lovely property in a good location for our stay. Beautifully decorated with all the facilities expected. Noisey road at the front of the house due to it being a cut through. The house bedrooms have been divided up into seperate appartments and so some swithches needed are not in your appartment. A concern about security, front door and room door locks great but the period patio doors inside the rooms were poorly secured with flimsy locks. "
