    I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

    Nelson is a lovely town, with beautiful hanging baskets and old, unique architecture, close to Tahunanui beach, which is lovely. The Saturday market is great and wandering around Nelson town is fun, there are some good small specialty shops. I enjoyed the museum and the Suter Art Gallery and Queens Gardens. It is also a great base to visit both the Marlborough and the Tasman regions.

    Takaka is a must for those who love alternative shops and lovely radiant people. Lake Arnaud is worth a visit. A wine lovers dream area. Harvest resturant was the highlight of the trip. Stunning location service and food.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent. The Suter Gallery was a highlight, and I enjoyed the Cathedral. I really enjoyed the walk up to "the centre of N.Z" and the views from there. I had some very good food and liked looking at the architecture - e.g the villas and transitional villas in The Brook. Founders Park and Miyazu Japanese Garden were great. Also, having a craft beer at "The Free House", a church that has been converted into a drinking place( and painted with fun colours) was wonderful.

    Friendliness and facilities were so nice.We had a lovely balcony with table and chairs.Near the beach.The lady I Ispoke to on the phone requesting a bath also came to greet us and she remembered me from our phone call and said enjoy your bath you deserve it. She must have remembered when I spoke to her previously we were going to be tired as we had come from a month of entertaining friends and family. This got us off to a great start.Then we were so happy to see how lovely our unit was.A Wonderful stay

    A very interesting option within Nelson. The hotel is part of a bigger resort area with a the feel of a classic European village. We stayed on two separate occasions, before and after a multi-day trip through the Abel Tasman national park. The staff enabled us to take our room keys after normal check-in time. The rooms vary a lot in size but are always clean. A big plus is the proximity to Nelson airport, we were able to walk there with our luggage and could thus avoid the taxi fair.

    Me and my partner stayed here and we have stayed in a number of places this one definitely exceeded expectations in terms of value and customer service. We had a last minute booking and the staff had arranged for our key to be hidden so that we didn't have to do the checking in (because of covid regulations). They were very communicative and worked around us. Was very happy with the service and value of this hotel.

    Absolutely wonderful. Brand New accommodation is modern and comfortable. Located on a hill overlooking Nelson, just a few minutes from the beach and city center. We had our own private terrace/garden. The bedding is the most luxurious we've had in our 3 week holiday and the breakfast spread and coffee/tea in the room went above and beyond. I would definitely come back to Nelson and definitely come back here!

    The Yha is located nicely in Nelsons city centre near a large collection of different cafes, clothing stores, restaurants, etc. it's nice and quiet in the evenings. And is equipped with a large kitchen dining area and lounge. The staff were kind, helpful and more than happy to answer any questions. Overall it's a great place to stay with an affordable price and I would stay here again.

    The bed and breakfast was located near the center of town so we could walk to many restaurants for lunch and dinner. Ray and Jules provided an excellent continental breakfast with fresh mixed fruit, cereals, yogurt with granola and breads. They were very helpful and assisted us with all of our needs. I highly recommend staying there if you visit Nelson.

    Hotel is tired. Rooms clean and functional. Bathroom appears dated , damage to painted surfaces in bathroom and interior windows obvious ( flaking paint and incomplete repairs). We had a booking through Booking.com but seemingly not loaded to system- a bit awkward at the desk Had a wake up call when we had not requested one at 7 am!

    We needed a 2-bed central self-contained Nelson apartment for our family that didn't cost the earth and Waimarie on Riverside ticked all the boxes. Very convenient location with off street parking and within walking distance to the CBD, Riverside pool, Queens gardens. The apartment is cosy with a decent sized fridge.

    I loved this hotel. It was spotlessly clean, in a great location, the staff were welcoming. I really do recommend if you’re looking for a good value stop for a few days in Nelson. There are plenty of eateries, and the beach, nearby, and the bus stop into Nelson is literally outside (and costs just $3 each!).

    The hotel was fabulous. Close to town, great little balcony overlooking the river and the room was very comfortable, especially the bed so had a great sleep all for a very good price. All the staff were friendly and efficient when we interacted with them. Will definitely be back next time we come to Nelson.

    We liked that we could leave our big Hiking backpacks x 4 at the hotel so we didn't have to carry the heavy packs around the city while we waited until it was time to head to the airport to board our flight to Auckland.

    The view from the house is to something to die for. Probably the best view of Nelson. The design of the unit is unique, has character. The owners left a detailed manual, had a personal touch to it. We loved it.
