My friend and I took a very long journey from the East Coast of the U.S. to the South island of New Zealand. We were traveling for two weeks and our first destination was A Culinary Experience in Nelson. This amazing home would become the barometer of all of the other places we stayed. We stayed here for three nights... More

Very nice place at the top of the hill, over looking the Tasman sea. Very nicely done, a lot of attention to details. Kay and Joe make an exceptional effort to ensure your stay is the most enjoyable. Great breakfast, good tips and recommendations about the region, and pre dinner drinks and snacks. Thank you for your hospitality. David and... More

We happily return again and again to this B&B. Kay & Joe go above and beyond to make you welcome and breakfast and dinner are always among the most memorable of a visit to Nelson. The rooms are spacious, scrupulously clean and furnished with every possible necessity. The views are wonderful, the gardens, chickens, alpacas are welcome when you are... More

This person was not a guest at A Culinary Experience Luxury Bed and Breakfast. We have a lower cost option which is our waterfront apartment in the city and that is where this person stayed. Our bed and breakfast is 4 km out of town on a hillside overlooking the Tasman Bay. At the B and B we prepare gourmet... More

A Culinary Experience is a perfect location for exploring the Nelson area, the wineries of Marlborough, as well as convenient base for visiting Abel Tasman NP & much more. This beautiful new home built at the top of the hill by Kay & Joe, surrounded by gardens (and even a couple alpacas), has every possible amenity you can ask for... More

I can't say what's best of this place...maybe the setting (up to the hill, facing Nelson's harbour and admiring Abel Tasman NP), maybe the beautiful house, maybe the two lovely runners, maybe the food...certainly all these things together! We had a fabulous night, no better way to end our trip to the South Island. Breakfast was amazing and it's fantastic... More

Our 4-day stay at Nelson is unforgettable, despite the heavy rain, the clouds, and the single one sunny day because we stayed at Kay & Joe's beautiful B&B! This was our very first B&B experience, but we've stayed at tons of hotels, mostly the 5-star hotels around the world like the Four Seasons and the Park Hyatts and I have... More
