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.

    If you want to get out of the city and have a quiet stay this is the place for you. We could only hear the fast water in the river to put us to sleep and the sheep talking to each other.

    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.
