Main bathroom with fresh towels, toiletries, and a hairdryer. 📝 Good to Know City-centre location means some street noise, especially on weekends or early mornings. Access is via stairs only, which may not suit guests with mobility concerns. A bold, spacious stay designed for memorable Nelson getaways.
We are your hosts, Rutu and Jono, and we live locally in Nelson with our little one, Axa. This loft was once our family home, and we have set it up with that same intention in mind. It is not a typical Airbnb filled with cheap or temporary furnishings. Every piece has been chosen for comfort, quality, and longevity, the way you would furnish a place you actually live in. The layout, furniture, and details reflect real day to day living. Comfortable couches you can properly relax on, a kitchen designed for cooking and sharing meals, and spaces made for slowing down and spending time together. It is a home first, and a place to stay second. Because this was our home, we care deeply about how it feels for the people who stay here. We want you to feel settled, comfortable, and looked after, while still having your privacy. We are always happy to share local tips on food, walks, and experiences around Nelson, and we are easy to reach if you need anything during your stay. Our hope is that you feel the difference as soon as you walk in. A grounded, well loved space that feels human, warm, and genuinely welcoming.
You are truly dead centre in Nelson. Step outside and everything is right there. The main high street, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and cinemas are all within a few minutes’ walk. Grab a coffee, catch a movie, browse local stores, or head out for dinner without ever needing a car. River walks, parks, museums, the library, and key sightseeing spots are all close by, making it easy to explore the city at your own pace. Equipment hire, tours, and local experiences are simple to organise nearby, whether you are heading out for an adventure or keeping things relaxed. Public transport is easily accessible, with bus stops close by and straightforward connections around Nelson and beyond. From culture and food to nature and nightlife, this location puts you in the middle of it all. Just arrive, drop your bags, and enjoy the city.
