One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in New Zealand. Boutique style with only a few rooms and personalised service from the owner Sarah. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cater to our needs travelling with a baby.

    Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

    Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

    Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

    Avner was a wonderful host - and we were very fortunate to have the property to ourselves, it was a wonderful stop in the middle of our New Zealand adventure. Nelson is a fantastic place, it reminds us of all the good things of days gone by. And Avner's bnb is a very special place, the views, the eco environment and the cosy but luxurious feel. The little kitchen area was a great extra so we could eat in on the first evening and watch the sun go down. We won't forget our great weekend in Nelson.

    The suite we had was fantastic. Everything we needed for our mid winter getaway, clean and the bed was comfy. Location was awesome, walking distance and vet central, it was easy to find our way around from there. The staff were so lovely and helpful, nothing was a problem, even though our flights to Nelson were delayed. I would book this place again and recommend to friends and family.

    Close to Nelson city, east to find, friendly owner, however it was not made clear to me on the site that he was renting out a room in the bottom floor of his family home, I thought it was more private or officially run, him and his family was in the rooms next to and above me
