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

- From £76.58 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 665 reviewsThe 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.Yee HingSingapore
- From £104.10 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 318 reviewsA very interesting option within Nelson. The hotel is part of a bigger resort area with a the feel of a classic European village. We stayed on two separate occasions, before and after a multi-day trip through the Abel Tasman national park. The staff enabled us to take our room keys after normal check-in time. The rooms vary a lot in size but are always clean. A big plus is the proximity to Nelson airport, we were able to walk there with our luggage and could thus avoid the taxi fair.
ThomasSwitzerland - From £96.87 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 883 reviewsThe Admirals Motor Inn is about 15 minutes walk from the centre and we think much better value than right down town. Spacious motels suites, ours had a separate little office. Nice older quieter suburban type area. Great restaurant, Flames practically next door and little French coffee shop just around the corner back to town. A charming part of Nelson, older motel, but clean, roomy and comfortable. Good value. We would choose againlynneNew Zealand
- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 10 reviewsThe view from the house is sensational, Nelson was sunny which was a change from the North Island weather in April. The sunsets in the evening over the bay were stunning and everchanging. Also sitting out on the porch in the morning and the locals jogging and walking by waving to you was amusing. The neighbourhood was quiet when we were there which is a big plus for me. The Thai restaurant on the bay below was very good.
OlsenNew Zealand - From £40.41 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 635 reviewsWe stayed at Tasman Bay Backpackers over new years. It is a really clean backpackers and the showers were great. The beds were clean and comfy and not a bad size. We paid for a double private room which was good value for money. The communal areas are really nice and spacious, the atmosphere in the morning (until 10am) is really relaxing. Free chocolate pudding was a nice touch at the end of a day exploring of Nelson.PerryNew Zealand
- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 112 reviewsTruly, this studio was a bit of heaven on earth. The location is exceptionally beautiful with the views over the bay. Having breakfast with those views was amazing. The hottub was great after a long day of hiking. The hosts are really friendly and like to talk about the neighborhood. You also get greeted by their cat Pablo. Would definitely go there again if we ever visit Nelson again. 11/10 would recommend

The staff were superb, the location is amazing, surrounded on 3 sides with water. Lovely gardens to walk in, the food was excellent quality and great value. The accommodation was great, it was spacious, dual aspect and we wanted for nothing.
