Located within 1.7 km of Tahunanui Beach and 2.9 km of Trafalgar Park in Nelson, Studio or Cabin on Whitby provides accommodation with free WiFi and seating area. Guests staying at this bed and breakfast have access to a balcony. Guests can access the bed and breakfast via private entrance. We absolutely loved everything about our stay at this unique cabin. Such a brilliant location with the most special view (even when we had a bit of rain on our final morning) and incredible surroundings. Photos really cannot do this place justice - it’s just beautiful and the little patio area is perfect for enjoying some outside time in this part of the world. This cabin offers a really unique and cosy stay, and we would definitely recommend. Having spent five weeks travelling around NZ and staying in many different types of accommodation, this was the standout! We could not have asked for better or more friendly hosts either - thank you so much David and Sandy, especially for all your tips while in the area!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a pool with a view, garden view and a patio, Oceanview Retreat is situated in Nelson. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The apartment has a hot tub and a lift. I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of Gabi the check in assistant. Stunning apartment and stunning views. Very comfortable and spacious. Great location especially for a family with kids. We didn’t have a car so we would walk to cafes, restaurants, parks, Natureland, the beach and more. The apartment pool was beautiful to swim in. Honestly couldn’t fault the stay here. We will definitely stay here again when I get another chance to visit my family in Nelson. Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.
