We stayed 3 nights here and really loved the character of the place which was a traditional historic wooden house in a charming elevated position about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Nelson (which is also charming). Also great location for nice river walks and walks to the centre of NZ. We stayed in Topaz room which was large... More

This was the most wonderfully, relaxing and indulgent break I've experience in years. The location and house could not have been more exquisite.....the owners know how to cater to all ages and desires; this was a slice of pure heaven and my partner and I wanted for nothing. It was just what we were looking for - peace, beauty and... More

This really was a gem of a find! I was so pleased to arrive here off a long haul flight, so peaceful, both the house and the setting. The house itself is a beautiful property with lovely views. We stayed in the Crystal Room which was lovely, beautifully presented next to a private entrance to the house. The breakfast was... More

This is a small family run place with three rooms. It is situated near lots of trees – hence the name a woodsy house.” As I can’t manage stairs very well, we stayed in the ground floor Crystal room. It was not ensuite but had a bathroom nearby which was for our exclusive use and also a lovely sitting room.... More

Unfortunately I have to give this place a negative review. It takes a little while to get used to the room, of which our initial impression was that it was rather creepy looking. It had a damp smell to it and the towels, duvet, and bathrobes were so old and faded I couldn't tell if they had been properly washed... More

Stunning victorian house overlooking nelson. Warm cakes and coffee was served when we arrived and the hosts were a delight, extremely helpful. Do not miss the breakfast which was simply delicious! The takeaway at Milton is a must as well. Sit by the garden to watch the sunset. If you love cats, you will adore theirs. She snuggles up to... More

After staying in hotels and motels around the South Island, this was like arriving at a friend's home. We were greeted with tea/coffee and homemade cake. The room was spacious and although we didn't have an ensuite we had a private bathroom two doors away. As we had the Crystal Room on the ground floor we also were the only... More

Spent a lovely time in the peace and tranquility of this charming B&B. The owners provide the warmest of welcomes and can't do enough to make sure you trip runs smoothly. We also had the best sleeps ever - it was SO quiet. I thoroughly enjoyed a trek up the hill to the geographical centre of NZ (just behind their... More

An old house on a hill looking over the town but still an easy walk to the centre. Decent-sized room with lovely old furniture. The bathroom (including the longest bath either of us had ever seen!) was separate but that posed no problem; it's two steps from the bedroom. Breakfast was superb - lots of home-made goods in a big... More
