Wow what a gem accommodation, it had so much character. The facilities were lovely & the staff were so friendly & welcoming. Great location if you need to fly in or out of Nelson. We had dinner a couple of times in the restaurant downstairs & the food was delicious. When they ran out of one particular dessert the Manager made me up a special dessert as a replacement which was such a lovely touch. Highly recommend.

    Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

    Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

    Relatively easy to get around with the center of the city accessible, although the road out of Nelson to the south west seemed to be prone to traffic jams; I like the plentiful cycle ways separate from the road although I can no longer use them

    Very friendly hosts, Carolyn is an absolute gem! She made the most delicious breakfasts and was extremely accommodating. The accommodation itself was perfect, a little home away from home. Warm and cozy, set amongst established trees and very close to town. Will definitely stay here again in the future if we travel back to Nelson. Rate 5 stars +🙂

    The location was beautiful being situated next to the estuary in Monaco Nelson New Zealand. It was a very peaceful location, despite the rooms being above the pub/restaurant. The room was spacious,warm & comfortable.
