I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

Nelson is a lovely town, with beautiful hanging baskets and old, unique architecture, close to Tahunanui beach, which is lovely. The Saturday market is great and wandering around Nelson town is fun, there are some good small specialty shops. I enjoyed the museum and the Suter Art Gallery and Queens Gardens. It is also a great base to visit both the Marlborough and the Tasman regions.BelindaCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

Takaka is a must for those who love alternative shops and lovely radiant people. Lake Arnaud is worth a visit. A wine lovers dream area. Harvest resturant was the highlight of the trip. Stunning location service and food.

The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent.
The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent. The Suter Gallery was a highlight, and I enjoyed the Cathedral. I really enjoyed the walk up to "the centre of N.Z" and the views from there. I had some very good food and liked looking at the architecture - e.g the villas and transitional villas in The Brook. Founders Park and Miyazu Japanese Garden were great. Also, having a craft beer at "The Free House", a church that has been converted into a drinking place( and painted with fun colours) was wonderful.

Friendliness and facilities were so nice.We had a lovely balcony with table and chairs.Near the beach.The lady I Ispoke to on the phone requesting a bath also came to greet us and she remembered me from our phone call and said enjoy your bath you deserve it. She must have remembered when I spoke to her previously we were going to be tired as we had come from a month of entertaining friends and family. This got us off to a great start.Then we were so happy to see how lovely our unit was.A Wonderful stay

- From £66.75 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,875 reviewsCozy and cleanliness of the room with comfortable double beds. It was a splendid idea to have an iron , we used it on Sunday morning even though we brought our own with us. An electric kettle was so handy for us on Sat evening and Sunday morning for hot chocolate and coffee since we brought our own cereal with us. Was surprised to see the volumse of body lotion, shampoo, conditioner in the bathroom comparing it to previous accommodation places we booked in were just in tiny sachets..excellent Nelson Hotel..McGoonNew Zealand
- From £84.04 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 325 reviewsA very interesting option within Nelson. The hotel is part of a bigger resort area with a the feel of a classic European village. We stayed on two separate occasions, before and after a multi-day trip through the Abel Tasman national park. The staff enabled us to take our room keys after normal check-in time. The rooms vary a lot in size but are always clean. A big plus is the proximity to Nelson airport, we were able to walk there with our luggage and could thus avoid the taxi fair.
ThomasSwitzerland - 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 92 reviewsLovely little accommodation in a great spot (short walk into Nelson city) and a lovely area. The owners were so helpful and accommodating and were on hand to assist with anything I may have needed. They were very happy to share their wonderful facilities with me and answer any questions that I had. It was spotlessly clean also and very modern. I would stay there again.StefanieNew Zealand

We stayed in the largest unit that had a full kitchen and laundry plus a large living room. A comfortable stop for the 4 of us after the bustle of Wellington. Stayed after taking the ferry to Picton and then driving through wine country. Mark is a great host!HeatherUnited States of America

The kitchen is spacious, the lounge is cozy, and the 4-bed dorm I booked was comfortable. The apple pie the staff made for all guests was an added bonus!
