My husband and I had a brief but delightful stay at The Sails in Nelson. The room was clean and comfortable, with amenities including a small kitchen (featuring a sink, microwave, small stove, and dishwasher) as well as access to shared laundry facilities. The host was incredibly friendly and even offered to help transfer our laundry while we were out hiking in Abel Tasman National Park. The location is excellent, just a short walk to downtown.
