Joya Garden & Villa Studios in Nelson provides accommodations with a garden and a terrace. This guest house offers free private parking, daily room service, and free Wifi.

The garden outside is lovely. The interior is a little more cluttered than we prefer. Simplifying the furniture and environment would be a plus.

    Great location, an easy walk into town and Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology. Lovely quiet, clean, sunny house with all that you need for a comfortable stay. As an added bonus there is a spa pool on the balcony. Friendly host who allowed us to check in early which we were very grateful for. Thanks for a wonderful stay

    It was very quaint and quiet, with a lot of charm. The hosts were excellent and the place was very clean. We could walk anywhere in town within 15 min. The facilities all worked great and the beds were comfortable. Nice deck in the garden to relax in and enjoy the bird sounds. Beautiful old, historic, and elegant home.
