There isn't anything about our stay we didn't like. It is an absolute pleasure to live a relaxing stay at this property

Our accommodation was amazing, beautiful picturesque views, comfortable living and the nautical theme of the different quarters is very imaginative as well as exciting for the kids to enjoy, Our hosts are very engaging, polite and respectful there isn't any negativity to be said about our week long stay or our hosts. The weather was amazing the accommodation is central to everything around the area. Was a very pleasant stay, I highly recommend this accommodation to everyone wanting a relaxing night or few, having a beverage while losing yourself in the views while chilling inside or out.

Would have been nice to be able to make the bedrooms abit darker.

Excellent views. Nice and warm. Beds were comfortable. Quiet.

We stayed in the crowsnest and it was fantastic, the views are one of a kind and the property gives you a real feel of luxury and comfort! I would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back here

Views were amazing from every window including the toilet lol. Well equipped place to stay for multiple nights or even a few weeks.

Nothing.

The Wheelhouse Inn has the most amazing location. The views are incredible. Very close to the city. The bed was super comfortable.

the driveway was very steep and windy ( a little tricky to reverse out of), the tv had no 'sky sport channels', the 2nd bedroom was very small - more appropriate for children rather than adults

a great view out over the harbour, very clean and had a great range of whiteware appliances (excellent fridge, washing machine & dryer etc), and a very comfortable master bedroom

We got used to it (because my husband is a great driver), but navigating the parking, particularly with a larger vehicle, was tight. A smaller car would have been much easier. That being said, one shouldn’t expect a large or flat car park for a place called The Lookout with such amazing views! 😊

My husband and I are traveling for 22 days from Auckland to Queenstown and this was our first overnight stop on the Main island for 2 nights. Our ferry was late and we had to drive 2hrs from Picton in the rain and arrived after dark. Parking was challenging for the first time, not knowing the area or being able to see well, so admittedly we were a little stressed upon arrival, but once inside, it was very cozy/comfortable with room to spread out. Upon waking in the morning (it was our 9th wedding anniversary) the sun was shining and stunning views and quiet made up for everything! Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again for sure. We fell in love with Nelson! Loved that The Lookout had a kitchen, 2 toilets, heated bed, a set of binoculars and an info page in the house book that listed the names of all the skyline peaks.

the driveway up to the property was steep and twisty, but that's the price I guess you have to pay for such magnificent views. the only minor issue was the tv was placed inside a closed cabinet with no chairs in the lounge facing it, so if you wanted to watch tv you would have to rearrange the furniture. further on the tv there were no 'Sky Sports' channels.

the view from the lounge is breathtaking. it is hard to imagine a better view anywhere in Nelson. the facilities were excellent with a full oven and large fridge. you don't get those often in motels.

Wonderful view.

Could be more comfortable and updated inside. But we had a lovely stay.

The Wheelhouse Inn has the most magnificent view! It was incredible! It has big beautiful windows and a nice outdoor table to enjoy the view. This place was all about the view. The inside was clean, but a little outdated.

Very steep steps to walk down to the bathroom

Stunning view, bed was very comfortable. Nice deck to watch the sunset. Laundry facilities.

The 2 cockroaches we found and the mould in the shower. Suggest a toothbrush and exit mould. Most of it came off with a cloth I used while showering.

Amazing view, from both levels. The free biscuits. Tidy and the vases of fresh flowers were a nice homely touch.

Everything was perfect, loved the grand view of Nelson and the fine detail of the nautical theme in the house

If there’s a ram towards the upper deck will be helpful. We have to lug our luggages up the stairs 🤣

The view is spectacular. The space is wonderful too.

Amazing view!!

The pillows were a bit too soft, but that was just a small thing.

The private and quietness in the area was a big plus during our stay. The view from the main deck was great and relaxing. Cleanliness on the main deck was on a very high standard which made out stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Plus: Love the maritime theme around the house and the story of how all started for Ralph and Sally. 😊

Nothing

The views were stunning! It was cosy and had great facilities. wish I could have stayed longer for a glass of wine on the deck.

Our favourite place to stay in Nelson.

The stairs may be an issue for some people, and the driveway is an adventure!

Beautiful property with amazing views

haha just a very typical steep, hidden NZ driveway!!!!!!!! Very busy road when you got down to the turn but nothing unmanageable!!! No curtains on the windows opening towards the car area and deck, and new people turned up to stay in the upstairs apartment and parked. It was a bit like a fish bowl for a bit as we were sitting in the living area relaxing and felt it was very open!!!!!!

Amazing water & mountain views all along the coast. The apartment had flowers on the dining table, was clean, spacious, warm, and sunny, had incredible views, was comfortable, had wi-fi, all amenities, oven/kitchen wear, beautiful floorboards, large bathroom and shower, heaters, lots of kitchen space, lots of areas to sit, comfortable, private bedroom, carpet, large deck, flowers in the garden everywhere, little pathways, loved the seagull on the roof-want one!!!!!! Was also close to some eateries/cafes along the waterfront down the bottom of the hill.

Bathroom (average) and access via a steep flight of stairs. These were very steep as was driveway to property making manoverability difficult and I'm use to being on the flat. Having said this however the property was nestled into the hillside and the views more than made up for this.

The views were breathtaking , great location for me, very well equipped, comfortable bed. Had everything one could possibly want.

We absolutely loved our 3 nights at The Wheelhouse Inn, we didn't want to leave! Owners have thought of everything, and best of all that spectacular view!!
