Maitai River Romance

Warm, light, 2-bedroom home on the Maitai river, with the most gorgeous panoramic view from the upstairs master bedroom. So quiet, so central, so sweet. Breakfast, badminton and barbecue by the river. Arguably the most peaceful central street in Nelson City. A safe peaceful base to come home to within walking distance of all that Nelson City has to offer.
