I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

Nelson is a lovely town, with beautiful hanging baskets and old, unique architecture, close to Tahunanui beach, which is lovely. The Saturday market is great and wandering around Nelson town is fun, there are some good small specialty shops. I enjoyed the museum and the Suter Art Gallery and Queens Gardens. It is also a great base to visit both the Marlborough and the Tasman regions.

Takaka is a must for those who love alternative shops and lovely radiant people. Lake Arnaud is worth a visit. A wine lovers dream area. Harvest resturant was the highlight of the trip. Stunning location service and food.

The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent.
The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent. The Suter Gallery was a highlight, and I enjoyed the Cathedral. I really enjoyed the walk up to "the centre of N.Z" and the views from there. I had some very good food and liked looking at the architecture - e.g the villas and transitional villas in The Brook. Founders Park and Miyazu Japanese Garden were great. Also, having a craft beer at "The Free House", a church that has been converted into a drinking place( and painted with fun colours) was wonderful.

Friendliness and facilities were so nice.We had a lovely balcony with table and chairs.Near the beach.The lady I Ispoke to on the phone requesting a bath also came to greet us and she remembered me from our phone call and said enjoy your bath you deserve it. She must have remembered when I spoke to her previously we were going to be tired as we had come from a month of entertaining friends and family. This got us off to a great start.Then we were so happy to see how lovely our unit was.A Wonderful stay

- From $59.14 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 832 reviewsI had a nice stay at the Prince Albert in a shared 4-bed room. The common areas were very comfortable and clean and it was a good environment all around, with nice people to talk to. The wifi worked great everywhere. Having heaters in each room made the nights very comfortable and the showers were high pressure and had nice hot water. The carpark is quite spacious and very accessible from the rooms. The hostel is super close to the city centre, so it's great if you want to explore Nelson by foot!ÁmbarMexico
- From $129.52 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 318 reviewsA very interesting option within Nelson. The hotel is part of a bigger resort area with a the feel of a classic European village. We stayed on two separate occasions, before and after a multi-day trip through the Abel Tasman national park. The staff enabled us to take our room keys after normal check-in time. The rooms vary a lot in size but are always clean. A big plus is the proximity to Nelson airport, we were able to walk there with our luggage and could thus avoid the taxi fair.
ThomasSwitzerland - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 10 reviewsThe view from the house is sensational, Nelson was sunny which was a change from the North Island weather in April. The sunsets in the evening over the bay were stunning and everchanging. Also sitting out on the porch in the morning and the locals jogging and walking by waving to you was amusing. The neighbourhood was quiet when we were there which is a big plus for me. The Thai restaurant on the bay below was very good.
OlsenNew Zealand - From $233.60 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 121 reviewsWonderful view. Very good quality guest accommodation much like a 5* hotel, but attached to the owners home. Hosts were great and most helpful. Tea tray and kettle in room with some nice teas. Fresh milk kept in a communal fridge. Breakfast was lovely and the cooked options were made to order and served in the guest dining room overlooking the deck and sea. A handy few minutes drive from Nelson.AnnUnited Kingdom
- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 90 reviewsLovely little accommodation in a great spot (short walk into Nelson city) and a lovely area. The owners were so helpful and accommodating and were on hand to assist with anything I may have needed. They were very happy to share their wonderful facilities with me and answer any questions that I had. It was spotlessly clean also and very modern. I would stay there again.StefanieNew Zealand
- From $89.95 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 660 reviewsWe really enjoyed the property gardens, outdoor seating areas, the attached pub and restaurant, and the paved walkways on the peninsula. The ambiance of the old English style was beautiful. We greatly appreciated the option to purchase a late check-out. We easily walked to the airport from the hotel with a rolling suitcase.
HeatherCanada - From $92.26 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 2,370 reviewsI loved this hotel. It was spotlessly clean, in a great location, the staff were welcoming. I really do recommend if you’re looking for a good value stop for a few days in Nelson. There are plenty of eateries, and the beach, nearby, and the bus stop into Nelson is literally outside (and costs just $3 each!).CarolineUnited Kingdom
