About The Loft at The Last Straw

Inside the rural Brightwater valley, roughly 25 kilometres south of Nelson, The Loft at The Last Straw occupies a small-scale property on Mt Heslington Road where the Richmond Range forms the eastern backdrop.

Brightwater sits in the Waimea basin — apple orchards and hop gardens rather than beach resorts, with the Waimea River within walking distance. Nelson's Saturday market and Arts Quarter are under thirty minutes by car.

Sixteen reviews averaging 9.9 suggest the kind of attentive hosting that only small-capacity properties can sustain. The loft format places sleeping quarters above ground level, away from road noise and well-positioned for the wide valley views the Waimea plains offer at this elevation.
