Stunning Cliff-top Retreat with views over Tasman Bay. Close to Beach & City!

'The Cliffs' is located atop Nelson's Magazine Point where stunning tree-topped cliffs drop to the sea. The home is set back from the cliff overlooking lawn, garden and bush straight into the sparkling waters of Tasman Bay, with an intimate view over Fifeshire Rock and Haulashore Island and a panoramic outlook that takes in the coastline of the Abel Tasman, the mountains of Kahurangi National Park and the Tasman Sea in the distance!

One of the few homes in the area that offers great views and a flat site, the house is oriented to the North and enjoys fantastic all day sun and warmth as well as easy access and parking.

You will love the feel of this spacious home... There are 3 bedrooms all with excellent sea views and light: Master with Design Mobel + Ecosa King Bed and Ensuite Bathroom with Shower, Toilet and Vanity, Bedroom 2 with Design Mobel King Bed, and Bedroom 3 with King Single Bunks plus a fold-out child's mattress by request. The main bathroom offers Bath and Separate Shower. There is a separate toilet.

The kitchen is fully equipped with induction cook-top, espresso coffee machine with grinder and a full range of cookware and appliances including double dishdrawer dishwasher.

The kitchen dining and living areas are open planned yet distinct, all open to the covered verandah with extendable sunshade awnings and seating. Outdoor dining with sun umbrella, sun chairs and there is a large gas BBQ.

For entertainment, there is a large Sony Smart TV in the living area with your favourite Apps, DVD player with a movie collection and Ultra Fast Fibre Broadband WiFi is provided. There is also an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot for music etc, board games and book collection for your enjoyment.

This is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay in Nelson. We are really picky and this was delightful. Highly recommended.
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020

A wonderful spot with an amazing view over Tasman Bay. The house was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely walk up The Cliffs to Princes Drive Lookout and then down to Tahunanui Beach. Great coffee at Raglan Roast Tahunanui and take out at The Sands Fish and Chip Shop. Thank you to the owners! Would highly recommend this place for a stay in Nelson.

Stunning views of Nelson Bay and Abel Tasman National Park to the north. Several gorgeous sunsets and sunrises during our 2-week stay. Very comfortable living in the house. Vaulted ceilings make it feel even bigger than it is. All the amenities are included. Easy access to Nelson shopping. Drive up to house is a bit steep and driveway is a little awkward, but we didn't notice after a few days. You get great exercise walking pathways in neighborhood.

We LOVED this property! Can't wait to stay again. Great indoor/outdoor flow. Well appointed kitchen (loved the espresso machine). Perfect spot for the last leg of our vacation.

With a few more touches this would be a 5+. It really needs a deep clean (cobwebs in corners) and the worn out furniture in the living room should be replaced. We have had paper towels and kleenex provided in all other rentals this trip and also had to buy our own dish detergent . The view is magnificent and was certainly enjoyed by all.

I think the views are better than any of the pictures in the profile. Comfortable house, only minor issue is the the two rooms on the ends didn't have very effective drapes or blinds so it got bright early inside.

Fantastic views and property. Well kitted out the light coloured carpet was a bit of a concern especially with children.

The property was just fabulous, the view looking out over the water was amazing! The house was well equipped and beds were comfortable although a few more essential items would have been great (eg some instant coffee and perhaps a bottle of milk) but other than that it was a great stay and we will be back!

Great location, close to everything or you can just chill and watch the action on the water which we did a lot of. Easy access to Richmond and Nelson.
