Great spot and cottage had everything you need
Great location to explore Abel Tasman, Nelson lakes, Blenheim wineries, Nelson and more. Cottage itself was perfect. Has everything you need if you want to fully self cater but close enough to some great eateries. Comfy bed and great shower. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful place to stay, very relaxing and good hosts
The location was wonderful, close to local places of interest with a large variety of activities close at hand. The accommodation was of a very high quality and very well equipped for all requirements. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for you.

Relaxing cottage with great views!
My family and I stayed 5 nights in the cottage. We all loved the cottage. The location, space, views, quiet and pool were all a hit! My daughters loved swimming in the pool and walking up the wee hill to the lookout! The place was very clean and comfy! Gina and her family were great hosts. We will be back for sure! 😁

Relaxing stay, stunning scenery
A relaxed hilltop setting with the most stunning views of Nelson. A lovely little modern cottage adjacent to the hosts own property with access to a fantastic pool and surrounding area. The hosts although living next door kept things low key and were highly respectful of our privacy and great to deal with in the lead up to our break. They had thought of absolutely everything to make make our stay as easy as possible- from extra beach towels, beach tents and toys to kids quilt covers and DVD's. Easily sleeps 4, but sofa bed available too for extra guests. If you like to get out and about and visit all the region has to offer, but want to retreat to a peaceful base with panoramic views, Golden Hills is perfect. Would definitely look to visiting again sometime!

Perfect location for exploring around Nelson!
We stayed three nights and had an absolutely wonderful visit. The home was set up perfectly, had everything that you would need. Charming decor in a stunning setting. Gina was so accommodating and knowledgeable with the area, and gave us many recommendations on things to do. We would recommend this place for anyone visiting Nelson area and looking for a relaxing place to stay.
