Riversong is located next to the beautiful Maitai River which flows through Nelson City. This peaceful location in the quiet residential neighbourhood of The Wood is right on the edge of the central city, a 5 minute walk to Nelson's rich array of cafes, shops and restaurants.
This two bedroomed townhouse is fully equipped to ensure that it feels like a home away from home. The sunny living room has windows to the north and west ensuring all day sun. With views over the flower filled garden to the tree-lined Maitai River this is a wonderful spot to relax with a book, listen to some music or watch a selection of TV channels on Freeview on the 32" LED flat screen TV. The living room also has a dining table to seat 4 people. Wifi is free!
The kitchen is equipped with a hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave, Nespresso machine, kettle and toaster. Pantry basics are provided along with a selection of locally produced goodies including Sublime plunger coffee, Pic's Peanut Butter, extra virgin Olive Oil, dukkah, gourmet mustard, and locally made jam and chutney. However if you've forgotten anything the nearest supermarket is only a 3 minute walk away, and the Milton St Dairy, Milton St fish and chip shop and the Sprig and Fern pub are within 5 mins walk.
The two bedrooms have comfortable beds with pillow topped matresses and feature quality cotton linen. Each bedroom has a built in wardrobe, bedside tables and bedside lights.
The refurbished bathroom features a shower, vanity, heated towel rail, extractor fan, mirror cabinet and toilet. There is a washing machine and outside covered clothes line for drying laundry.

Summary: Cute little cottage right in the centre of town. Great position to access everywhere and everything you could want in Nelson. Beds were super comfy. Kitchen is small but worked well for our needs...thoughtfully stocked with an abundance of pots and pans/ cooking implements/ olive oil/ jams etc etc. Would definately come again.

Summary: Roz's place was the ideal spot for exploring Nelson and the area. The location is fabulous for walking into town for dinner, shopping, etc. and for taking long walks along the river. Roz has thought of every little thing to make the stay homey, comfortable and welcoming. We were there for three weeks with our adult son and loved every minute.

Summary: The location is great but in my view the price per night is too high. This is a small unit, and whilst well equipped, there were a number of things which could do with tidying up.
