Thank you very much for your review. We often get comments about our wonderful location to all the attractions in the Nelson area and how close our accommodation is to the foreshore of the beautiful Waimea Estuary. We hope to see you back at Bronte one day soon. Daniel More

We stayed 6 nights. We had a fantastic time. The accomodations (villas) are spread throughout the extensive property, with views across the harbour - wading birds. We had a quail family visit us each morning and evening, feeding on our lawn and only a few meters from us in our lounge. Accomodation is excellent, and the whole atmosphere is quiet... More
