SingaporeThe staff were very friendly and helpful. One incident was that I dirty my shoes at a muddy beach and the staff kindly let me use a large cleaning sink to clean my shoes. Thank you and much appreciated. The location was very good with beautiful scenery - high and low tides right before your eyes. The room was vintage style, cosy and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Our family of 7 had dinner in the hotel restaurant - excellent! Highly recommend this hotel to visitors coming to the Nelson area.

From
CanadaLush surroundings: the tiny cabins are set back into the forest. You sleep in total darkness and quiet. You awaken to bird song. There’s a hike right from the cabin, and owner Mark is full of good advice of 1,000 other things to do in the region. It’s a relaxed place with a shared kitchen kept neat and tidy and well-equipped. We were there as a couple and enjoyed meeting other travellers, but the place can also be booked for big groups which would be excellent for mountain biking enthusiasts and others. The climb up to the platform bed is pretty steep but the bed was cozy and firm and comfortable.

there primarily for work but scored a bonus free day when planes were cancelled and i finally had a chance to see a little more. Nelson is a very pretty and varied city with good shops, lots of beautiful art, parks and gardens. the wider area has miles of coast and water to explore, as well as rugged wild walks nearby.

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.

I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of Gabi the check in assistant. Stunning apartment and stunning views. Very comfortable and spacious. Great location especially for a family with kids. We didn’t have a car so we would walk to cafes, restaurants, parks, Natureland, the beach and more. The apartment pool was beautiful to swim in. Honestly couldn’t fault the stay here. We will definitely stay here again when I get another chance to visit my family in Nelson. Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

I had a room with a balcony overlooking the river - with a partial view of the hills behind Nelson also. It was a soothing and quiet place. I enjoyed watching the dramatic tidal range. The hotel is also very close to downtown Nelson.
