Nelson is my favorite place to go to.

Nelson is my favorite place to go to. I traveled up from Christchurch to collect a new car and was able to spend the day and night wandering around the city. My go to place is the Cathedral, steeped in history and with stunning really old trees. Lit two candles for my loved ones, gave a donation for the beautiful buildings' upkeep and soak up the spiritual atmosphere. Able to sit on the grass under a Black gum which was huge, relax and enjoy the smell of the pines. Fabulous food trucks and cafes. Easy to walk around, just a fabulous place. I would highly recommend it.

Nelson is a lovely city with great weather (usually). Seems well set up and well kept for visitors and the community in general. Rubbish bins, seating in the CBD. Ebus is a great way to get around (especially with a Bee card). Cheap and every 30mins a bus goes somewhere! City gardens are really pretty and nice for a peaceful stroll though.

Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

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!

The suite we had was fantastic. Everything we needed for our mid winter getaway, clean and the bed was comfy. Location was awesome, walking distance and vet central, it was easy to find our way around from there. The staff were so lovely and helpful, nothing was a problem, even though our flights to Nelson were delayed. I would book this place again and recommend to friends and family.

YHA Nelson is a well-regarded budget-friendly accommodation located in Nelson. They have a nice and very spacious lounge or social facility and fully equipped kitchen area for everyone. Staff is friendly and helpful. It's a good choice for backpackers, solo travelers, and those looking for affordable lodging in a convenient spot. Close to restaurants, shops and attractions.

Great location for traveling to Nelson and Appleby. Two lovely coffee shops across the road to get breakfast. Also, can walk to Car Musuem which is 20 mins away or 4 mins by car. Would definitely stay again. Hotel was clean and comfortable.
