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 stay

- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 77 reviewsBreakfast was amazing with a wide variety of choices and particularly as we are a vegetarian family we felt very well catered to with this diet. The location was in a very beautiful part of the town and very easy walk to the centre of Nelson and it's conveniences. The host Carolyn was so friendly and attentive without being intrusive and was happy to provide information on the surrounds for activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay at Peppertree again.
LoraineNew Zealand - 7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 226 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

We checked in early as the room was ready, and a taxi was booked for us to leave early the next day to the airport. When the taxi didn't arrive in time for our departure, the owner took us to the airport in Nelson. Such a lovely, helpful couple - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.ChrisUnited Kingdom

We stayed in the largest unit that had a full kitchen and laundry plus a large living room. A comfortable stop for the 4 of us after the bustle of Wellington. Stayed after taking the ferry to Picton and then driving through wine country. Mark is a great host!HeatherUnited States of America

The staff were superb, the location is amazing, surrounded on 3 sides with water. Lovely gardens to walk in, the food was excellent quality and great value.

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
