Sorry, the space is not suitable for children. The bathroom is for the use of our guests only, shared with one other room if it happens to be booked, and includes a walk-in shower, and large bath
for a good soak if you fancy one. Big warm bathrobes are available for your use, and a hairdryer is available in the bathroom for your use. Also complimentary house slippers. The garden is a park-like space, beautiful to relax in and listen to the birds, and watch them at the feeding station. We are very happy to welcome touring motorcyclists, secure garaging is available with a workshop. We will pick you up from the airport or bus if you need us to, free. A continental breakfast is included, with home-grown honey, fresh juice (in season) and marmalade made from our citrus trees, and yummy toasted muesli from our kitchen, with fresh seasonal fruit, yogurt, toast etc. You have your own Fridge where the Fresh Fruit Salad is kept along with the milk and butter etc. Idea: the local Countdown Supermarket has an excellent range of Salads, Cheese, Cold meats, Olives, etc to keep in the fridge and have dinner/tea at night in house, this saves having to eat out every night :)
We are happy to help and interact as much as you are happy with, but if you prefer your privacy, that's fine too. We've lived in Nelson for over 30 years so have a good knowledge of the area and are happy to share our experience. We work from our separate craft studio behind our house, our web based business makes and sells craft supplies in New Zealand and overseas, it is called craftrunner. So we are close at hand to help you if needed, and Steve is always interested in helping motorcyclists. We are situated in central Stoke, in a quiet private street. There are cafes, takeaway food shops (bring it back and eat in), two large supermarkets, all very handy just down the road. Also Mac's Boutique brewery, and it is just a small stroll to the bus route. Or use our free bicycles to get around Nelson. Our neighborhood is a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of the area, situated half-way between Nelson and Richmond. Nelson is the starting point to explore the top of the South Island, including the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks with walking and cycling tracks, skiing in winter, water sports in summer. It is a well established wine growing area, producing some fabulous wines. Our Saturday market is famous for hand-made and home-grown crafts and produce, and is worth a visit even if you just want to people-watch the interesting characters go by. Nelson is home to the WOW (World of Wearable Art) museum, and now New Zealand Classic Motorcycles has opened it's doors with nearly 400 classic motorcycles on display. Getting Around
