We had the Amber Room for one night either side of walking the Abel Tasmin Park. Room was comfortable, but our en suite was a cupboard? Owner was helpful in storing our baggage whilst on the trek, but would not return. This was our most expensive B&B in the South Island, and least good value for money. All others had... More

Beautiful building but I had a nightmare stay at this accommodation. I stayed upstairs in the gold room. Very odd set-up of my room included a door to an adjoining room that did not lock on my side, There was a window in the door to the adjoining room (clouded but no curtains). At the time I stayed the bathroom... More

This is the opinion of myself and my partner..... Nightmare experience. We have visited NZ 3 times in 3 years and this was the worse experience we had in NZ. Nelson is a fabulous place, shame this guest house is so horrendous. We arrived and was met by a Filipino lady who could not speak much English, but could manage... More

We stayed in the blue room for one night to round off a ten day holiday in the nelson area: great room, beautiful house and lovely welcome without it being overbearing. The cooked breakfast was scrummy although we had to forego the soda bread, so not really an ulster fry anymore. Delicious nonetheless. Ideally situated in Nelson, with an easy... More

Where to start, location of the B & B is sadly the only positive of our stay at the Amber House. For the price of the room, it was a massive let down, I was greeted by an old grumpy host that spent half an hour showing me how to close the front door, I like to think at the... More

Loved the hotel, its so beautiful and well decorated. Room was fine, apart from the apparent "free wireless" not working and shower temperature not able to stabilise, sporadically changing from extreme hot to extreme cold. Host offered second night at a discounted rate if we paid cash, we told him we'd think about it. Next day, wanted to check out... More

Sorry Folks, Did not write review about here. I was frightened I would not get my refund for the Key. Yes of course they forgot?? to give it to us when we left. Did get it and then forgot to write review later. The only B & B to ask for a deposit for a Key. This was the worst... More

Don't stay here! An absolutely disagreeable experience. I agree with the comments of the previous two reviewers - a 'Fawlty Towers' experience starting with complaints about our not following instructions to the 't' (not ringing the ship's bell at the front door) about how to get into our accommodation. We were told that we could have been shot as burglars... More

First of all it was out of season and the operator was away so this could explain some things however; Bad; -Rotten fruit in the 'free' fruit bowl -Only soy milk aviable for first 2 days -Cheapest toilet paper ever. -Bed Spread and pillows were VERY thin but room was warm -Spreads for toast were out of date 'vegimite' exp...
