Fantastic location right in CBD. Beautifully proportioned apartment.
Stylish, comfortable, exceptionally well located.
You cant get a better location. The property was everything and more than expected. Great comms from the team which were clear. Really nice touch with milk in the fridge and a cold water jug, plus some chocolate.
No faults with property, its amazing and has all the modern amenities. Clean, tidy and a great indoor/outdoor flow. There was however lots of roadworks and noise, early in the morning due to all the underground work going on in Nelson town centre. It was a bit of a shock walking around a building site in town...it can only benefit from the work being done and absolutely NO fault of the property... We will be back
Lovely modern property in a great location.
It’s close to everything, central location which makes it easy for us to walk everywhere. The property is clean and had all the facilities we wanted.
Nothing, everything was good.
So central. Clean and comfortable. Huge bed. Underfloor heating in bathroom. Walking distance to supermarket and well equipped for self catering.
I liked how everything was very clean and there was everything catered for me, as someone that works on a boat and needed some good rest it was the best way to rewind
It was amazing had no problems, maybe the wifi cutting out a bit early but it’s okay
Perfect unit in the heart of Nelson, great furnishings, cosy and warm, comfortable beds. This is the second time we have stayed and just as good as the last time.
Nothing oak tree house is exceptional .
We loved everything about this place and give it the highest rating possible. Even though it was right in the middle of town it was very private and quiet. The attention to detail was next level, making our stay feel very luxurious. Whoever did the design and furnishing of this accommodation has created a wonderful environment to stay in. Looking forward to staying again in the future

Our stay at Oaktree House in Nelson was impeccable from start to finish. The home was spotless, beautifully presented, and in a fantastic location. Everything we could possibly need was provided, which made the whole experience effortless. Access was simple, and the instructions for getting in and finding our way around were clear and easy to follow. The house itself is absolutely stunning, both inside and out. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
There was nothing we didn't like.
Great apartment and location, very comfortable beds and thankyou for the breakfast supplies was appreciated!!
Nothing
5 Star fittings throughout
Exterior looked dreadful, belying the 5 Star interior
Brilliant Apartment, well located in the heart of Nelson, very well appointed and close to restaurants and the city centre, Hamish was a brilliant host and left milk, juice, fruit, cereal etc for us, such a lovely touch, bed was very comfy and the modern facilities were excellent, fully recommend to others looking for a safe place to stay, great having parking right next to the apartment.
NOTHING!
Great convenient location, well designed and appointed space, nice touches like fruit and coffee provided. All around a great spot!
It was a surprisingly private and beautiful place given it's proximity to urban areas and car parks. It was smartly designed and all the thoughtful touches - fresh fruit, abundant milk, and chocolate made it feel special.
It was cold when we arrived and took a little time to heat properly - a small thing.
Loved the property, clean, roomy,close to everything, comfortable,
Nothing!!
Lovely home in very central location, but cleverly hidden away. Very clean and well equipped. A real gem! We loved it!
Lovely apartment in a very central location. Despite being in the centre of Nelson it was very quiet and not overlooked. Cereal milk and juice were provided for breakfast, along with tea and coffee
Nothing
Well equipped, had everything we wanted. The apartment was modern, clean, and very well appointed.
Nothing, everything was perfect
A comfortable and beautiful place nestled away in the centre of Nelson.
There was nothing I didn’t like.
Beautifully decorated, well equipped place right in the centre of downtown.
Location was excellent, so handy to cafes etc.
Very clean. Comfortable and well equipped. Very central location. Excellent use of space and courtyard area. Very thoughtful hosts leaving fruit and treats for our arrival.

Fantastic location in central Nelson for shopping, free parking a bonus. Fresh fruit, cereal and milk provided so that was a great bonus for our start the next morning. Shower pressure was great. Highly recommend this property and would stay again when in Nelson.
Nothing, it was great.
Oak tree house is an excellent luxury pad right in the centre of Nelson. It’s very clean, very comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and generous attentive owners.
We loved our second stay at Oaktree house as much as the first. Spotlessly clean, nice touches like a fruit bowl and chocolates to munch on, comfy beds, and a central location in Nelson walkable to restaurants, art galleries and the museum.
Everything was neat, tidy and clearly cared for. Really well thought out and styled. Lovely outdoor areas right in the middle of Nelson. Location was very convenient.
Really - nothing it was all good
Fantastic position, right in the centre of town, easy walk to some great eateries. We loved the clean, crisp decor, with lots of bells and whistles. It has been thoughtfully decorated and decked out. Thoughtful touches were an added bonus. Beds were really comfortable, shower gorgeous, we enjoyed sitting in the courtyard. It was a constant surprise to walk out of our wee oasis and realize we were in the city. Whole place is very clever!
Probably advisable to rely on the heat pump /air conditioner for night times. We tend to be open window people and our first night was very hot. Once we figured out to put the air conditioner on, it was perfect.
Lovely well designed two bedroom villa with all modern conveniences hidden in plain sight in central Nelson. Heated private outdoor terrace
Nothing
Everything was well thought out in this lovely 2 bedroom cottage. There was lots of space to relax in the living room and 2 patio areas. The kitchen table/island was well suited for eating and computer work as well. The additional coffee table came in handy and the sofa and chair with ottoman were comfortable. We used the kitchen to cook a meal and the hosts graciously left some fruit, granola and coffee. There were plenty of towels, blankets, pillows and cleaning products. They even left some bug spray and sunblock. Very thoughtful touches. Having a washing machine was and added feature. A+ stay!!!
The only hiccup we had was figuring out how to turn on the oven. Instructions on the welcome letter would have been helpful, but we contacted the host who told us that there was a switch that needed to be flipped on in order for the oven to function, No problem, as the host got back to us very promptly.
Echt een prachtig appartement in het centrum. Het ontbreekt je aan helemaal niets.
Niets
Everything was perfect
Oaktree House ist ein Traum - liebevoll eingerichtetes, stylisches und extrem sauberes Smarthouse mit Garten, in welchem man sich von der ersten Sekunde an wohlfühlt. Da stimmt einfach alles und ist alles auf den Kunden abgestimmt: tolle Kommunikation, beste Check-in und Check-out Zeiten, Waschmaschine, Tumbler, Kaffeemaschine, Fruchtsaft, Filtriertes Wasser, grosser Fruchtkorb, frische Milch und Müesli, hochwertige Produkte und Mobiliar. Das Haus mag teuer sein, aber es lohnt sich. Es wurde an alles gedacht und verdient für den extra Service mehr als 10 Punkte.
Nichts - ausser dass wir nicht länger bleiben konnten.
Fantastic location in the centre of town, the fruit and cereal was an added bonus!!
Nothing
This is the second time we have stayed at Oaktree. Great facilities, comfy beds, quiet yet close to Trafalgar St, cafes and bars and retail precinct. So much better than staying in a hotel! The owner, Hamish is very responsive and a great host.
Great location ..
HOPE YOU WERE TRYING TO BE FUNNY .. didn’t appreciate the bad joke about being old with regard to Alexa !! Smart houses are nothing new..
Modern, clean, and upscale. Kitchen well stocked. Amazing shower and comfortable beds.
Exceptional wee unit! Wee gem hidden away in the heart of Nelson. Beautiful decor and the bathroom was perfection 👌 the floor in shower had the the slight slope so water didn't spill out on main floor.
Everything was fabulous! Finding it was a bit hard via Google. But when we went around the block we found it straight away.
Great location, close to all shops and cafes and art galleries, great apartment, very modern and Amazing shower!! Nice an quiet.
Great location, cool set up, clean, comfortable. Perfect t for what we needed.
Location was very central and walkable.
One bedroom did not have a closet so there was no hanging space.
It was so lovely to arrive to a bowl of fresh fruit waiting for us and generous provisions.
Beautifully appointed and very clean.
Hosts were fantastic, leaving fruit, milk, and cereal and had a coffee machine. Beautiful courtyard, easy access. Great showers and beds. Superb.
Perfect location in Nelson CBD but still private and quiet. Decor excellent, great amenities, wonderful outdoor space. I couldn’t have asked for more. No closet in one bedroom, but not an issue with plenty of space in the other bedroom. I’ll definitely stay there again. Great hosts and beautiful space. Thank you!
Well equipped accommodation, welcome fruit, chocolates, cereal, milk tea/ coffee much appreciated. Location ideal for all restaurants / bars . Fully enjoyed our stay. I would have liked to have been able to stay longer but for our ferry commitments.
Nothing
The quality of the furnishings, the location and the whole feel of the villa was exceptional.
No wardrobe in one of the bedrooms.
Duvet on beds was too heavy for the season. Pillowcases didn’t fit the pillows. Should have read the instructions or the hot water!
Fabulous central location
Amazing place, great location, very high quality, very clean, lots of added extras, breakfast a nice touch
All good
The space was well thought out. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower had great pressure. The fresh fruit & milk & cereal were a nice additional touch.
The rubbish truck at approximately 6am
Clean, convenient
I emailed the manager of the property after I checked out, because I forgot a personal item and was hoping to pick it up on my way back through Nelson, NZ. The manager failed to respond to me.
Modern bright living space, great location, wonderful outdoor areas to enjoy. Walkable to anything in downtown Nelson! Quiet at night. Awesome shower!
A couple of small fans in the bedrooms would be nice, to circulate air at night. The a/c unit was great, but that air didn’t reach the back of the house by the bedrooms.
Amazing property, designed with so much attention to detail. The property is beautifully appointed. I don’t often spend free time (when I’m not working) at rental properties, but truly enjoyed relaxing in the spaces at the Oaktree House. They are stunning, comfortable and well thought out. The large windows and doors opened up to make you feel like you were outside. The hosts provide so much more than other properties. The Nespresso machine with the frother made delicious coffee. There was a lovely basket of fruit and some candies on the counter. The host was prompt and helpful in responding to questions too. I wish I could have stayed longer but will return if it’s available again next time. What a gem!

We loved absolutely everything. Would not change a thing. Could not recommend this place highly!!!!
We couldn’t find the instructions for the tv sound bar
Cental location ,Unit Facilities ,Modern appliances
Loved the way it felt like a little oasis in the city. One of the people from Nelson told us what it used to be. The owner should tell a bit of the story because it is pretty cute. Loved the attention to detail. Loved the privacy of the garden area. It is not overlooked.
The price was a little steep for the size. The finish on the property was amazing but it didn’t have any extras like a spa, bikes etc. When the doors were open it was a little bit noisy.
if you are staying in Nelson, then this home is the place to be, did not want to leave, so comfortable, and modern, exceptionally clean, well appointed, and in a great location, close to all amenities.
Location good Essentially In Town Lovely outdoor spaces
Bit noisy with Gym nearby Bit noisy. Complex lighting
Great location , comfortable beds
Gym next door playing wake up music early, not good if you are a light sleeper.
Location, decor, new and fresh, all details considered
Nothing I didn't like. There were a couple of things that were worth highlighting but didn't impact our stay. We let the owners know so they can fix them for next time
Beautifully well appointed property in a central city location made for a super comfortable and special stay.
The gym close by was playing music loudly very early in the morning (around 5.30am) - may be worth packing ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Apart from that was very quiet and secluded in the heart of the city.
The hosts promptly sent us the codes for the gate and front door soon after booking. We walked into this wonderful accomodation and were thrilled to bits with what we found. Everything has been so well placed and thought out that makes for an effortless stay. Being right in the centre of Nelson it's just a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and places of interest - there's also a supermarket around the corner for any supplies you may need.
Honestly, nothing. It was pretty perfect
Wow, what can I say. Fresh flowers 💐 fresh fruit bowl, Easter eggs etc. This beautiful little apartment is located in the heart of the city and is so accessible to everything. Everything was in walking distance for restaurants, shopping, buses and of course the Market. We felt like we were in our own little paradise. Thanks so much Hamish, we would both absolutely stay again. I will definitely recommend to family and friends who are heading to Nelson.
Nothing 😊
Great setup
Booking.com slow to reply. Asked Hamish if we could leave bags. He replied to bookings.com but no forwarding from booking.com to us.
Exceptional appointed property with great indoor and outdoor space.
Very disruptive noises from outside city workers which lasted until 0100h. We were unable to use any of the outside patio spaces. We also did not go to sleep until after 0100h when the beeping from the back up of the machines ceased.
Everything! Amazing property in every respect...modern, spacious, great outdoor area, well equiped kitchen, wachine and dryer. Tastefully decorated and so close to the inner city. Great communication from the owners and appreciated the fresh fruit and chocolate treat. Couldn't fault it!
Brilliant location, walkable to everything in the city and harbour/marina. Extremely well appointed house with generous fruit bowl, 2 types of milk, orange juice and tea & coffee options.
Nothing except the electronic door lock kept telling us its battery was running flat which was a bit scary!
Great layout for a party of two or more. Right in the middle of town. All facilities and appliances worked well. Very comfortable.
Beautifully presented with lots of little thoughtful touches for guests.
Nothing
Unbelievably quiet for its location in the heart of Nelson
Trendy decor! Clean and in the heart of Nelson! Abundance of restaurants & shops right out your door.
Everything was fantastic
