We did an 11 night swap with Marshall and Claire at their lovely home in Nelson New Zealand. Their house is only a 5-minute drive into the center of Nelson. The town of Nelson is lovely with great restaurants bars and shops. The surrounding regions are amazing with either beautiful hills or ocean. Upon our return to Broadbeach,we found they had left our home in pristine condition. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for anyone considering a swap with them to Nelson.
