[@brittanymorgan09]

Thank you! We are very happy with our new home ☺️

Looking to relocate from Australia to Nelson in March. Cant wait! Hope I can find a place like this

[@brittanymorgan09]

That's amazing!! We'll be moving out late March or early May so this place might be up for grabs!

[@dentaldiaries123]

Truly a Lovely Apartment in Nelson! Would you mention how you got the apartment and is there any specific websites that we can check out?

[@ProjectFrugal]

I was born in Nelson - have it tattooed on my arm even and lived there until I was about 18. Cold in winter, hot in summer. Used to climb the 1st tree on the right when you enter Queens gardens from Hardy Street when I was a kid. Best of luck!

[@brittanymorgan09]

That's awesome! It's such a lovely place, we are really looking forward to the next 6 months here. If you have any tips or local gems to check out, I'd love to know!

[@martinsamuels2897]

It's really cosy love the small apartments

[@michaelaotearoa3839]

I have a interesting one for you. Wharariki Beach is the place where the girl running on the beach in Window 10 wallpaper.

[@brittanymorgan09]

So cool!!! We'll have to make the trip up there and recreate that photo or something 😃

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

Looks absolutely lush!

[@mikemontagne2703]

If I may offer a suggestion which just maybe put in even better standing with your landlord. With regards to that awesome kitchen's glass stove top. Next time you're out grocery shopping, pick up some baking soda, and at a $tore, an inexpensive (I won't mention the trade name) green&yellow scrubbing pad. With the baking soda, and gentle use, (trying a very small test area first!) with the scrubbing pad. Youll be able to return that glass stove top to a nearly new appearance! Or, wait until you're about to move out. Lovely apartment, next show the view?

[@brittanymorgan09]

That is a great suggestion, I've actually been researching how to clean it properly and baking soda has come up many times! Yes, we lucked out on this place, the view isn't nice but we will be sharing the beach area that across the street as it's just lovely!

[@mikemontagne2703]

A word of caution, do not use any steel wool.

[@martinsamuels2897]

It's lovely and Nelson is nice too

[@williamclarke2020]

Hi from Nova Scotia, Brittany! I messaged with Donovan previously, guess that's why the algorithm had your feed in my notifications! What a perfect apartment for you both. You are used to high rent in Calgary so I guess it's not too much of a shock. What more do you really need? Low maintenance, good location? Check and check. I wish you a fun and fulfilling time while there! Cheers, Billy P.S. I have subscribed to both channels!

[@brittanymorgan09]

Hello Billy, welcome!! I'm glad you found my channel, thank you for subscribing! It's a great little apartment for sure, we left Calgary before the rent got insane so it's a bit more here than we're used to but not too bad! Merry Christmas ☺

[@trudimclaren4301]

Lovely appartement! ❤ And it *will* get hot in Nelson over summer - mid 30s is my experience for how hot it gets, usually. Go to Kaiteriteri, but go to 'Little Kaiteriteri' the most beautiful beach, but not full of tourists. Also over the hill in the Tasman region I think the place is called Waipara - falls, and where the Abel Tasman walk comes out - just paradise ❤

[@brittanymorgan09]

Lovely suggestions, thank you! Kaiteriteri is definitely on our list. I am looking forward to that heat honestly!! Great excuse to go jump in the water for a swim!

[@dohadeer8242]

It might (barely) get to 30 degrees in an extreme summer, but it will never get to the mid 30s. Mid to high 20s is a normal summer high throughout most of the region (Marlborough. around Blenheim, can peak a little higher than that). Summer light hours are high during the summer though, so long days. During peak winter (i.e. July till late August) it will barely hit -1 on a typical clear night butstill get to between 14 & 18 degrees during fine winter days, so is generally pretty pleasant. Waipara is in North Canterbury (heart of the NC wine district), you possibly mean Wainui, as there are waterfalls there.

[@trudimclaren4301]

@@dohadeer8242 I have been there *a lot*, you know - and quite recently 🙄

[@RebelAlliance42]

I've lived in Nelson for 30+ years now, and we are spoiled for hiking tracks around this area! My favourites are around the lakes and Abel Tasman.

[@brittanymorgan09]

Absolutely! So many beautiful national parks to choose from. Hiking tracks to last a lifetime!

[@martinsamuels2897]

Oh yes and Abel Tasman national Park definitely worth a visit

[@brittanymorgan09]

Thank you! That's definitely at the top of our list. I agree, cozy small apartments are the best 😊

[@suparnaroychowdhuri3026]

Are plumbers and electrician available?

[@gordonspicer]

The top kitchen units appear higher than standard. Your lanlord is not mean by installing top of the range German Miele units and Daiken A/C.

[@brittanymorgan09]

The building is quite nice! I'm curious if all the units here have the same appliances 🤔

[@gordonspicer]

@@brittanymorgan09 I doubt it! Even in western Europe they are amongst the most expensive of white goods. However, you get what you pay for. The results are excellent and they last for years. I enjoy your to the point frank reportage! Will we ever have the "pleasure" of seeing you with your often referred to partner ?

[@brittanymorgan09]

@@gordonspicer interesting! The building we are in is marketed as a "luxury rental" so I wonder if appliances were all included during construction. Yes! Donovan is in most of my vlogs and he has his own channel as well!

[@LOOGamala]

It reminds me of the rental i had in Switzerland, the appliances in particular. But that was 2850CHF a month, unfurnished, 12 years ago, and a family row house.

[@brittanymorgan09]

Holy smokes that is expensive!! I hope it was larger than 1 bedroom for that price! It's interesting to see what your money can get you in different cities in the world.

[@coopsnz1]

Wow that is expensive! Sounds like beautiful views though.

Amazing rooms ❤️😍🥰👍👍

[@brittanymorgan09]

Thank you! It's a great little apartment.

[@RaceCarFriends]

Beautiful apartment and the price seems fair for what you're getting, my two main takeaways from this video though is that you guys are Team Playstation which is awesome and and the not so awesome side is that you guys are planning on moving back to Canada 😞 I was enjoying your vlogs so much I was hoping that you guys would be staying in NZ indefinitely.

[@brittanymorgan09]

Yeah we got a great deal I think! Can't wait to spend the beautiful summer in this region! Yeah we can only stay in NZ for up to 23 months on the visa but I wouldn't move here permanently anyway! I like Canada more and all our friends and family are there.

[@brittanymorgan09]

We will still be vlogging in Canada and all our other travels from there though 👍

[@RaceCarFriends]

@@brittanymorgan09 I understand and I look forward to seeing your Canada vlogs I don't think I've ever seen anyone native to Canada vlog beautiful Canadian spots before.

Brittany a interesting YT channel to get ideas for the Tasman region might be Clay Tall Stories, it's not a travel channel but there's plenty of ideas for exploring tge area. A colab with him would definitely make a point of difference on your channel.

[@brittanymorgan09]

Thank you! I will check out that channel for some inspo 🙂
