Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a heated pool, Country Retreats on Ranzau 1 is set in Nelson. This holiday home features a garden. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

Built in 1908 this refurbished heritage villa is located in a quiet, upmarket area of town.

Restaurants and cafes and the main shopping areas and parks are within a 15 minutes' walk

The extensive gardens with several water features are home to a variety of birds.

What a gem we stumbled upon! We loved everything about our stay in the cottage. It was well equipped and had absolutely everything we needed, and even more. Great value for money. The biggest highlight for us was the wonderful garden just outside our door, with a lovely artificial pond (by the lovely host Paulina). It felt secluded and peaceful even though we were in the middle of the city. Location was great - within walking distance of the city and nice walks. Paulina the host was friendly and lovely. We felt right at home.

    Aporo Holiday Home was booked for work. We had a few fixers up from Christchurch to work on an install in the area. They came back into the office and commended me on the choice of accommodation. They appreciated each having their own bedroom and space. As well as plenty of room in the kitchen to cook their meals. Don't think they could have got through their week long stay without wifi and that great view though.
