who want to enjoy a few days close to nature. The name is inspired by the Australian soprano of the same name, as well as the famous Peach Melba dessert.
Like her beloved soprano, Nellie is a masterpiece with delicate features and an elegant interior. If it looks familiar, it’s because of the 1976 Volkswagen Kombi chassis with manual gear

does not include bathroom or shower. There is no microwave or dishwasher either. Obviously, this stylish van is not suitable for off-roading either.

, Nellie must be kept in pristine condition, and all guests must follow a number of rules, including one that asks you to leave your pets at home.
