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 stayJulzNew Zealand

- From $124.65 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 91 reviewsThe hosts were exceptional in their helpfulness, even before our arrival. Home was beautifully restored Victorian era, filled with art of many kinds. The hosts knew a great deal about every piece of their art. It was about a 5 minute walk to town center, so location was great. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Our hosts even drove us to the airport for our flight out! Such kindness is seldom seen. We very much liked Nelson’s personality, probably largely influenced by the efforts of Ray and Jules.PatriciaUnited States of America
- From $141.86 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 319 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 - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 151 reviewsGreat location near the heart of Nelson with a lovely backyard and very friendly and knowledgeable hosts. The apartment that we rented out was spacious, perfectly clean, and nicely furnished including up to date amenities. The delicious breakfast is freshly cooked by Mark, the host, and served in the main house's dining room. Speaking of which, the furnishing of the main house is impressive to say the least, with something interesting to see everywhere you look.
MortenNew Zealand - 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 115 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
