Lounging with friends

Friends meeting in Nelson. Car space needed. Wanted a pool to dip in to cool off. Wanted a lounge to chill out in. Liked the privacy screens. Great location for the market and food area. Also close to bus station for airport transfers. Staff could bot have been friendlier - went above and beyond.
