What a great place to stay!!! Located close to town in a very green area, just in front of the mountainrange, this lovely place offers a lot for a fair price. It looks beautiful from the outside, and when you enter you feel put back to the 19th century. It´s an old but very well maintained house, with big red... More

Lovely, clean b and b in quiet area yet within walking distance of Nelson. Tasty continental breakfast provided by pleasant and helpful owners. Lots of places to eat in Nelson. Walked up nearby Botanic Hill which is supposedly the 'centre of New Zealand' with fantastic views of Nelson and surrounding area. More

We had an en-suite room with access to the verandah, so it was lovely to sit in the sun enjoying a drink, and looking out over the... More

Beautiful old house near botanical gardens, CBD and hilltop climb. Easy walk to restaurants and town.

Could hear a bit from room next to ours, esp. in bathroom - a tad unsettling... More
