Hospitality par excellence We had a fabulous 4 day/night stay at the wonderful lodge adjacent to the Nelson Marina and within easy walking distance of the CBD, museums and art galleries. Dave and Cathy were gracious hosts and made us feel right at home. Breakfasts in the Breakfast Room were a great way to start the day.
