At first I thought the property was a bit “tired”. Then realized that was it’s charm. It was like stepping back in time to an English Pub. It was bery convenient to airport.

Joy

This accommodation ticks every box. It was so far ahead of other accommodation we have stayed at during our South Island stay, with similar rates. It had everything and more we needed. Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer topped it off! Lovely linen and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend Tides Bar and Restaurant across the road too for a lovely meal.

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.

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.Eliza - 10Scored 10

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 stayJulzNew Zealand

melanieNew Zealand - From $88.76 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 900 reviewsWe stayed in a very outdated house. It was clean and all the facilities worked. It was actually very pleasant for our extended family, including some that had a different room in the same hotel. The hotel owner said that this house was going to be either removated or replaced ( I can't remember which). It was great value for money, especially given that we were just passing through and had to stay there because flights were cancelled.SueNew Zealand
- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 183 reviewsAbsolutely wonderful. Brand New accommodation is modern and comfortable. Located on a hill overlooking Nelson, just a few minutes from the beach and city center. We had our own private terrace/garden. The bedding is the most luxurious we've had in our 3 week holiday and the breakfast spread and coffee/tea in the room went above and beyond. I would definitely come back to Nelson and definitely come back here!
StephanieUnited States of America - From $133.74 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 586 reviewsExcellent staff - they went over and above board to help us out during our stay. We checked in early as the room was ready, and a taxi was booked for us to leave early the next day to the airport. When the taxi didn't arrive in time for our departure, the owner took us to the airport in Nelson. Such a lovely, helpful couple - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.ChrisUnited Kingdom
- From $135.81 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 650 reviewsThe view was outstanding. Everything in the apartment was exactly as per the pictures. The bed was comfortable, the bird life amazing (tuis, bellbirds, fantails, grey warblers and probably more that I didn't recognise) and did I mention the view? There was even a pair of binoculars which got used a lot! Totally recommend the one bedroom apartment to anyone going to Nelson.
