  Description

  We are a family of five in sunny Nelson. We have a lovely and sunny spare room for you. We have 3 daughters who are all school aged 7-13. We have a nice sunny garden and are within walking distance to town, the river and an ebus away from the sea. We are a vegetarian family. We are a loving, musical, adventure driven, bookworm kind of family.

  What else ...

  We are a 10-15 minute walk to town, there is an ebus route that passes 100m from the front door.
