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!

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a heated pool, Country Retreats on Ranzau 1 is set in Nelson. This holiday home features a garden. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

Featuring a garden and views of city, Ah House City B&B Nelson is a recently renovated bed and breakfast located in Nelson, 500 metres from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson. This bed and breakfast offers free private parking and free shuttle service. The bed and breakfast provides garden views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

What a delight! This B&B is just on the edge of the town but is a world away, in a quiet garden setting. Immaculate presentation of rooms, garden and breakfast area. High quality linens, toiletries and nice little touches like robes and complimentary welcome drink in the fridge. Bed was comfortable and the shower hot. Bathroom is compact but it's not like we needed to be in there often! Breakfast was top notch with cooked or lighter options available. Our hosts were so welcoming, explaining the B&B, it's facilities and giving us great advice on dining out and sightseeing options. But, they were never intrusive. The apartment itself is completely self contained and separate to the house so you can interact as little or as much as you like. There is a separate lounge area, beside the apartment, for the exclusive use of apartment guests. The B&B is eco friendly, making sure that all products used are low impact and garden friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again. Great value and a welcome respite from living out of a suitcase.

    The backpacker had everything we needed for our short stay in Nelson. It is conveniently located and the family room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. Some people have been staying long term at the backpacker and we could see that they treat it like a home. They were all working hard to keep the spaces clean and tidy, doing some maintenance, trimming some hedges etc. They were particularly lovely with our children, offering them some toys to play with etc.

    House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.

    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.

    Lovely little cottage, with lots of cute touches, someone has an eye for design!. Very family friendly, our grandchildren gave it a 10/10, plenty outside space for them. We loved our stay, so have booked again for next Christmas!. Clean and comfortable. Not far from the beach, and right next to a playground for the children.
