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

    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.
