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.BelindaCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 stayJulzNew Zealand

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 786 reviewsIt was hard to leave the Chelsea Park Motor Lodge after a wonderful five-nights stay. The room was spacious, cosy and clean. The shower was great and the bed was comfortable. Dean and Tomoko, the host and hostess, were warm and hospitable. They treated us like family. They are very knowledgeable about local events and neighborhood walking paths. We will definitely stay with them when we visit Nelson again. PS. Free bicycles are provided for your use.
FulinUnited States - From € 224.94 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 120 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
- 7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 227 reviewsI had two great nights at Honeysuckle house. The owner is very nice and friendly, the whole house just feels like home and the garden is wonderful. It takes approximately 15 min to Nelson centre and a hike to the monument of New Zealand starts behind the garden. Best thing, there are free muesli and tea/coffee for breakfast and free ice-cream:) Thank you Rob for this wonderful stay!von Rützen
