The hosts are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They kept checking whether there was anything we needed in our room. We especially liked the fact that we could sit in the garden outside our room after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are beautifully decorated. We would happily return to this accommodation in the future.

The only issue I had being a person with disabilities, is that could have done with having a hand rail to step on to the steps to the garden room.

Very warm welcome by Mark and John, very considerate, kind and helpful in every way. Lots of helpful suggestions for restaurants and for onward travel. Lovely garden, we really enjoyed a garden with John. Accommodation very comfortable, very attractive, great beds and good towels/ bed linen ( these things matter.) Superb cooked breakfast, Mark and John are very interesting and have a beautiful house. We enjoyed every moment, from arriving to leaving.

Everything was superb.

I cant say enough good things about Ah house. Mark and John are the best. They provide everything you need and make you feel at home. The breakfast they provide is great, the room is comfortable, shower is nice and big, everything is clean and well kept, their yard/garden is beautiful, and restaurants and shops are walking distance. If I were to return to Nelson in the future, I would absolutely stay here again.

What a super place to stay - lovely large apartment with everything you might need or want and some. A fabulous garden with loads of things to see & experience with options of places to relax. We had a yummy cooked breakfast to start our day. Mark, John & Bella top it off perfectly - fabulous hosts very welcoming, friendly & informative who very much respect your privacy. Ah house is situated in Central Nelson with private parking. Restaurants, cafes, shops & Cathedral only couple hundred metres away. I think next time I would like to try a garden room, I imagine it to be kind of like glamping. I really do hope it is not too long before we go there again.

Mark and John’s delightful and welcoming B&B has won awards, and no wonder. It is close to perfection, and great value. The house is on a quiet street, with free parking outside, and just a five-minute walk along a leafy path to the main restaurant area of Nelson, and the shops beyond. We had the garden rooms, two adjacent, cosy and well-insulated cabins on a wooden terrace. One comprises the bedroom and bathroom, the other a lounge with microwave, coffee etc. Both have TVs. Provision of extras is outstanding, as if the hosts have envisaged every guest need. We found plug adapters, a torch, umbrellas, hats, books, CDs, scissors and maps. For anything not there, just ask. The quirky garden is lovely, filled with plants, pots, lights and ceramics. The main house full of character and charm. The cooked breakfast was good, eggs, bacon and tomatoes, plus toast, fruit and cereal (muesli would be welcome as standard). There are plenty of information leaflets, and Mark is a friendly but not intrusive host, able to give good advice about local restaurants and places to visit.

The only slight deficiency is that the bathroom is small, with an OK shower, tiny basin and cartridge toilet - the type one finds in a mobile home, emptied daily by our hosts. But we got used to this.

A beautiful, plush apartment. Mark, John and Bella make you feel at home with their friendliness and humour. A lovely, yummy breakfast is presented in the morning (their berry jam was berry good, made with fruits from their garden). The location is perfect being near the centre of Nelson. The garden apartment was spacious, warm and spotlessly clean and well equipped. The super king bed was exceptionally comfortable. All round a wonderful stay and definitely a place to stay again.

This is only a tinsy wee niggle, but maybe offer a later breakfast time to 9am for us late risers!

Mark and John are amazing hosts making you feel like you’re staying with friends. The room is well appointed and lovely, the patio beautiful & the breakfast is delicious. They love what they do & it shows. Our stay was exceptional, a highlight in a country full of memorable experiences.

Nothing!

Mark and Jon were the most hospitable hosts and made us feel right at home! The garden apartment was clean and comfortable, with all instructions and information provided. It is also very conveniently located within walking distance to the town area where shops and restaurants are located. Parking is free and breakfast was provided (it was lovely!). We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting nelson.

This is the most lovely accommodation with super-friedly hosts, making you feel really at home. Within walking distance to city center. Super-service orientated hosts organize anything you need to make you feel comfortable.

There is nothing we can think of. Please be aware that the garden apartment has a camping-toilet as pointed out in the room description.

What a delight! This B&B is just on the edge of the town but is a world away, in a quiet garden setting. Immaculate presentation of rooms, garden and breakfast area. High quality linens, toiletries and nice little touches like robes and complimentary welcome drink in the fridge. Bed was comfortable and the shower hot. Bathroom is compact but it's not like we needed to be in there often! Breakfast was top notch with cooked or lighter options available. Our hosts were so welcoming, explaining the B&B, it's facilities and giving us great advice on dining out and sightseeing options. But, they were never intrusive. The apartment itself is completely self contained and separate to the house so you can interact as little or as much as you like. There is a separate lounge area, beside the apartment, for the exclusive use of apartment guests. The B&B is eco friendly, making sure that all products used are low impact and garden friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again. Great value and a welcome respite from living out of a suitcase.
