Reeves Retreat-Handy in Tasman is a recently renovated guest house in Nelson, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities.

As the name suggests, this property is a great retreat from the city and the road. A very comfy room replete with washing machine. The added bonus was the view of the most glorious collection of begonias you will ever see, even in a botanic garden. Well done Stephen! Breakfast consisted of a selection of cereals, milk, yoghurt, fresh fruit and fresh juice.

Villa on Milton features a patio and is located in Nelson, within just 1.6 km of Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson and 1.3 km of Trafalgar Park.

Super bathroom and comfortable bed. The space was limited and a couple of wall shelves and a slim fit table top/ work surface in the corridor to one side of the radiator would make a huge difference.

Located in Appleby and only 15 km from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson, Berryfields 64 provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking.

It was an excellent experience. The hosts are very welcoming and the space is gorgeous. The location is quiet and safe. Not far from Richmond central area or Nelson. My private room with a key and a cozy outdoor area. I liked the bathroom, it is very stylish. Breakfast is simple (musli, yogurt, toasts, jam) but it was perfectly enough to wake up without rushing for food.

Boasting a balcony with sea views, a garden and barbecue facilities, Waterfront Bliss can be found in Nelson, close to Tahunanui Beach and 2.6 km from Trafalgar Park.

Lovely little airbnb attached to the hosts modern house but still very private. Hosts were just delightful. They gave us fabulous restaurant and cafe recommendations. (Dinner at Hopgpods was a highlight). The views from the room were great. The house is up a very steep street above the main beach road, so the hosts gave us their parking spot to make it easier for us. A big help. Several steps (about 15) to get up to the house. Be aware if you have mobility issues. The outdoor deck is amazing and we loved sitting there with a drink viewing the water.

    Well priced, clean, comfortable hotel in town. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked nice and seemed popular with locals as well as guests. Decorated in an eclectic style. Good size rooms, comfy beds.

    A rural retreat. Lovely, quiet location yet convenient for Nelson and Mapua. Sitting comfortably in the armchairs on the veranda in front of the blazing Chiminia in the cool of the autumn early mornings and evenings was a definite bonus. Lovely host.

    Staying in a homestay situation was great and we enjoyed meeting our host Graham and he was a great host who was very easy to get along with. The location was great, and just a quick walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Loved meeting very friendly Mitch the cat.
