"A Little Retreat indeed" and "Little piece of paradise" are both quotes I read from the guest book.
Located in the heart of Nelson with views of the Nelson Cathedral is a well appointed apartment. Ideally situated above a natural health centre called Being which is run by the host Angela.
It is only a short few minutes stroll into town. The decor is ultra-modern with up-to-the-minute amenities and a fully equipped kitchen and laundry. The Little Retreat has one bedroom with a king-size bed, spa bath and other luxuries such as bathrobes and nice toiletries. There is also a day bed in the living room for an extra guest or a place to relax while watching the LCD television. There are two private decks, one with a barbeque.
I spent my first day at the retreat reading quietly, and then booked myself in for a soothing shiatsu massage downstairs at Being. As I was there on a Sunday I awoke to the ringing of bells from the Cathedral. I sat on the front deck and watched people pass by on their way to church or to the various activities in the town. Angela had left me provisions, including fresh fruit, breads and eggs etc. and enjoyed breakfast al fresco while I warmed myself in the sun.
