I chose Ambleside on the internet because it was near a community dinner I was going to. What a choice! Kees and Robyn are so friendly, thoughtful and considerate. I stayed again this week because they looked after me so well. Picked me up from the airport, coffee and cake for a tired traveller, comfortable bed and brilliant cooked breakfast.... More

In February 2012 we travelled from Vancouver, Canada to New Zealand for a 4 week vacation. Nelson was our second stop on the South Island, and we stayed at Ambleside B & B for a total of 3 nights. What a fantastic experience - 5-star treatment from the pick-up at the airport to the last breakfast in the lovely garden!!... More

Relatively expensive for a B&B, but Kees and Robyn go all out to make it well worth the price. I was given the "Lavender Room", and it was very comfortable (and beautifully colour-coordinated!). All rooms have en suite bathrooms, all very clean and well appointed. There's a guest lounge, where everyone tends to gather in the evening for some interesting... More

Robyn and Kees are exceptional hosts. We arrived in Nelson and despite being early, Kees was very happy to pick us up from the airport. We were instantly made welcome with a drink and baking.Our room was clean comfortable and quiet with en-suite. The separate guest lounge is a bonus with snacks and coffee etc available at all times. We... More

We did appreciate our 3 nights-stay at Ambleside with Robyn & Kees who are exquisite host. Their knowledge of the region will help anyone to get to love the place and want to settle down there. The homemade breakfast is absolutely fantastic, and even if you don't have anything scheduled, you can just sit in the garden and relax in... More

Our 6-night stay with Robyn an Kees at Ambleside was a real highlight of our recent trip to NZ. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The accommodation was just beautiful; the breakfasts to die for; the hosts - exceptional! We could not recommend them highly enough. It's not just 'B&B' there; they offer so much more and are on...

This accommodation was one of the best stays which we experienced in New Zealand. The hosts’ hospitality was just great (ranging from very personal attention, extra hot chocolate for my son, good advices, nice breakfast to the lovely atmosphere in general). We appreciated the stay and Ambleside Luxury Bed & Breakfast would be our first choice if we will have... More

During our second trip to New Zealand, my wife and I stayed with Robyn and Kees at the Ambleside Bed and Breakfast. What a fantastic spot. Both of them were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic accommodations, food and company. Do not... More

We stayed with Robyn and Kees last November and had the most friendly and cosy welcome everyone would love to have away from home. Superb hosts, excellent accomodation, Nelson and the surroundings are just perfect, and the Abel Tasman Park is a must, especially if your hosts very nicely invited you to go along as long time friends: that's exactly...
