    I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

    Nelson is a lovely town, with beautiful hanging baskets and old, unique architecture, close to Tahunanui beach, which is lovely. The Saturday market is great and wandering around Nelson town is fun, there are some good small specialty shops. I enjoyed the museum and the Suter Art Gallery and Queens Gardens. It is also a great base to visit both the Marlborough and the Tasman regions.

    Takaka is a must for those who love alternative shops and lovely radiant people. Lake Arnaud is worth a visit. A wine lovers dream area. Harvest resturant was the highlight of the trip. Stunning location service and food.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent. The Suter Gallery was a highlight, and I enjoyed the Cathedral. I really enjoyed the walk up to "the centre of N.Z" and the views from there. I had some very good food and liked looking at the architecture - e.g the villas and transitional villas in The Brook. Founders Park and Miyazu Japanese Garden were great. Also, having a craft beer at "The Free House", a church that has been converted into a drinking place( and painted with fun colours) was wonderful.

    Friendliness and facilities were so nice.We had a lovely balcony with table and chairs.Near the beach.The lady I Ispoke to on the phone requesting a bath also came to greet us and she remembered me from our phone call and said enjoy your bath you deserve it. She must have remembered when I spoke to her previously we were going to be tired as we had come from a month of entertaining friends and family. This got us off to a great start.Then we were so happy to see how lovely our unit was.A Wonderful stay

    Friendly, relaxed and helpful locals.

    Friendly, relaxed and helpful locals. Stunning scenery and brilliant sunshine. Terrific art scene, shopping precinct and cafe culture. Of particular note - no rubbish, graffiti or damage in sight. Felt safe too. Was a refreshing change to central Auckland (sadly).

    Th room was clean and cleaned every day. We asked for a quiet room and it was very quiet, we didn't hear any road noise at all. The hostess was lovely and was available at all times to answer any questions, and she was very helpful. It was a very handy location as we did some biking and walking, even walking to Nelson and back. Plenty of restaurants that are handy. We also did a lot of day tripping in the car and the room was our base. We did pay a little extra to have a separate bedroom from the lounge, which was a good move.

    Staying with Paulina was one of the highlights of my trip. I adored my time with her, and our conversations in the morning over breakfast. The house itself is older but well taken care of and has so much character. The garden is phenomenal, and I would do my stretches there in the evening after wonderful full days of exploring the Nelson area. My room also had a toaster oven so it was quite nice to have the option to do some falafel salad dinners in the room to save on eating out all the time.

    We stayed in a very outdated house. It was clean and all the facilities worked. It was actually very pleasant for our extended family, including some that had a different room in the same hotel. The hotel owner said that this house was going to be either removated or replaced ( I can't remember which). It was great value for money, especially given that we were just passing through and had to stay there because flights were cancelled.

    Location is right in town and easy to walk to everything. I had a separate room and bathroom, but used to hotel rooms, so it was a bit basic. A bed, a bath, 2 towels and linens and not much else. But all the solo rooms were separated from the main building so that was nice. And for the price, it was great. In general they have some great common spaces and the guy who checked me in was very helpful.

    Excellent staff - they went over and above board to help us out during our stay. We checked in early as the room was ready, and a taxi was booked for us to leave early the next day to the airport. When the taxi didn't arrive in time for our departure, the owner took us to the airport in Nelson. Such a lovely, helpful couple - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

    Spacious 2 bedroom lodge like house on the side of a hill in North Nelson. Super quiet with a gorgeous night sky. We stayed in the largest unit that had a full kitchen and laundry plus a large living room. A comfortable stop for the 4 of us after the bustle of Wellington. Stayed after taking the ferry to Picton and then driving through wine country. Mark is a great host!

    This hotel was in a good location. It was close to the beach and local bars and some restaurants. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, linen was of a high standard and towels where large. Good selection of teas and coffee. Sky tv was a bonus which included some movie channels. Room was warm. All staff were friendly and helpful.

    Fantastic breakfast, perfect location to Nelson city and a beautiful garden. The room connects to the main house, but you don't even notice as it feels as if it is it's own place. Great for exploring the local area. Appreciate their wealth of knowledge.

    It was clean, tidy & it was a two bedroom apartment which suited our family. We booked quite short notice for a wedding we had on. The hotel was very central and close to everything. The school park across the road was a bonus for our small children.
