Friendly and hospitable owners. My wife enjoyed the cooked breakfast, the continental was just OK and need some more variety. The rooms nicely decorated. We stayed one night in the master suite. It was a very comfortable stay, comfy bed and nice bathroom. A short walk to downtown Nelson.

Superb accommodation of the highest standard. We stayed for 3 nights over the Easter break and it was, in the words of Tina Turner, "Simply the Best".Situated in a quite but very central part of town (you don't need a car), it was just where we wanted to be. A beautifully furnished room with en-suiteand all facilities you could want.... More

We stayed for two nights, and enjoyed the relaxed stay. A short walk into Nelson with very many interesting buildings, and good restaurants made this accomodation an ideal choice. The hosts, Wayne and Val were helpful, and the breakfasts really delicious. To have washer/dryer facilities was a bonus.

This is a very high standard of accommodation in a quiet area of a pleasant city. Our four rooms (sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and small kitchen) were very tastefully and comfortably furnished, with everything you could possibly need for a short stay, including refigerator, microwave, DVD player and more. Hosts Wayne and Val were friendly and helpful and made us... More

Stayed here 3 nights at the start of a South Island tour. We had downstairs bedroom at front. Excellent facilities and tastefully set out. Warm welcome from the hosts. Good wifi. 5 minutes walk to the Main Street with lots of wonderful restaurants and bars. Breakfasts were great, with plenty of variety and conversation. Altogether a highly recommended stay.

The Villa was wonderful. Very modern. The upstairs suite was gorgeous with artist-created steel furnishings. Everything was lovely and well thought out. And the owners were friendly, interesting and great cooks. We enjoyed the lovely views from our balcony that overlooked the rooftops out to the water! Great location. Walking distance to the park, town, shops, etc.

We wish we could have stayed at Shelbourne Villa and Nelson for longer than 1 day. The property is beautiful with well appointed rooms and guest lounge. Located a pleasant 3-5 minute stroll from town. Strongly recommend staying.
