There are hundreds of holiday homes to choose from in the Nelson region – here are 10 things that we think help us stand out from the crowd.
1. Quick response guarantee – Planning a holiday can be a complicated process which involves liaising with other friends or family, booking flights and ferries and fitting together an itinerary. There’s nothing worse than being left waiting for a response, so we will respond to booking enquiries within 24 hours – or your first night is free…guaranteed!
2. Up to date availability calendars – There’s nothing more frustrating than enquiring about a holiday home that looks available to find out the availability calendar hasn’t been updated. We update our calendars as soon as bookings are confirmed so you can rely on our calendars when planning your holiday. If you need to me hold dates for a couple of days whilst sorting out travel arrangements that’s fine, just let me know.
3. Top quality linen – Many holiday homes in the Nelson region don’t supply linen as part of the rental rate, or add it on as an additional charge. We include bed linen, bath towels, facecloths, hand towels and tea towels in the rental price. Sheets and pillowcases are professionally laundered and of the highest quality. Slip into silky smooth white cotton sheets for a luxurious night’s sleep.
4. No credit card fees for international guests – Nobody likes paying an additional credit card fee! Here, we regard credit card fees as part of the cost of doing business, so there are no additional credit card fees for guests booking from overseas. We accept credit cards via PayPal. Simple and secure.
5. Compendium – There’s nothing like local knowledge to enhance a visit to a new town. You’ll find a compendium folder of suggestions in each property of where to eat, drink and shop plus favourite places to visit and activities for small children. It also contains useful information about how to work the appliances such as the TV/DVD and oven!
6. Pantry basics & the Nelson Pantry – Pantry basics are provided. We like our food, and know that having basics on hand such as herbs & spices, salt & pepper, flour, stock cubes, tea, coffee and sugar makes a big difference. You’ll find cling film, tin foil, kitchen roll and washing up liquid are provided too…plus hand soap, shower gel, washing powder and fabric conditioner. In addition to the essentials, experience a real taste of Nelson with the Nelson Pantry – a selection of locally made products for you to enjoy during your stay. Items include Pic’s Peanut Butter, local olive oil, Bite Me BBQ sauce and other treats!
7. Generous discounts – We love Nelson, so we like to reward guests who linger a little longer or return to this piece of paradise we call home! We offer discounts to return guests, long stay discounts, discounts for referrals and last minute discounts. Browse our deals.
8. Safety first – Your safety is our priority! Each property contains a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, smoke alarms, a first aid kit and an A4 sheet and map on where to locate the hospital, after hours doctor surgeries and chemists. Safety is also the main reason why some properties are not suitable for younger children.
9. Easy clean – Cleanliness is an absolute priority for us, and your property will be spotless on arrival. Guests are expected to clean on departure – this helps keep prices $20 – 30 lower per night – and cleaning up is a breeze as cleaning products are provided. And if you’d prefer not to clean on departure a cleaning service is available from $60.
10. Your hosts – Renting out holiday homes isn’t a sideline for us, so you can expect professional and courteous service. Ten years experience in operating holiday homes has taught us a lot about what guests need and want (and what they don’t want!). But don’t just take our word for it – read the feedback about us from previous guests.
