Restful Paton's Rock

We absolutely loved our stay at Paton's Rock and hope to be able to return. The ground floor unit was simple but very well equipped to cater for a family. Being so close to the beach, having the use of a BBQ and a deck in the peaceful garden was fantastic. The hosts were lovely and helpful and I'd be happy to recommend staying here.

Fun and rain

Short walk to beach. Fun even in rain. Close to town so good local facilities. Inside was small but good layout. Bunk bed room was small and poor ventilation (perhaps owner would be better to reduce price for 3rd and 4th beds) Tiles throughout flat made for cold feel.

Paradise

We had a lovely stay at Patons Rock. The bunk bed was too small for my teenage son but he enjoyed sleeping on the fold out lounge. A fan is needed in summer so we bought our own. Perfect size for a couple, 2nd room is small and entrance is through the main bedroom. We used the bbq and lots of cooking utensils are supplied in the kitchen, fridge is a bar size. We bought too many groceries in Nelson but managed to fit them in the small fridge.

Nice clean place. Games/dvds for the rainy days were great and fruit trees in the garden a hit with the 2 year old. 2 minute walk to the beach at toddler speed
