Nelson is my favorite place to go to.

Nelson is my favorite place to go to. I traveled up from Christchurch to collect a new car and was able to spend the day and night wandering around the city. My go to place is the Cathedral, steeped in history and with stunning really old trees. Lit two candles for my loved ones, gave a donation for the beautiful buildings' upkeep and soak up the spiritual atmosphere. Able to sit on the grass under a Black gum which was huge, relax and enjoy the smell of the pines. Fabulous food trucks and cafes. Easy to walk around, just a fabulous place. I would highly recommend it.

Nelson is a lovely city with great weather (usually). Seems well set up and well kept for visitors and the community in general. Rubbish bins, seating in the CBD. Ebus is a great way to get around (especially with a Bee card). Cheap and every 30mins a bus goes somewhere! City gardens are really pretty and nice for a peaceful stroll though.

Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

Everything, from the moment you arrive the staff are smiling, happy, bubbly, and show amazing service, one of the only places I have found that has employed kiwis for all jobs, not that this is a problem, however the difference in service was next level compared to other places. The room was spotless, the hotel flawless, the complimentary breakfast basic but has the Staples, beautiful outlook amazing location. I will stay here every time I go to nelson now.

The highlight of Kimberley Three is the spectacular view. The house is very comfortable and equipped with everything you need to make yourself at home. We were a family group of three adults and appreciated each bedroom having its own bathroom. Holiday Nelson, the property managers, were excellent to communicate with throughout the booking process. Thank you for a lovely stay in this beautiful spot.

The location was beautiful being situated next to the estuary in Monaco Nelson New Zealand. It was a very peaceful location, despite the rooms being above the pub/restaurant. The room was spacious,warm & comfortable.

Perfect location with central Nelson in walking distance. The owner is happy, friendly, and down to earth. This is obviously not just a business; but a lifestyle for he and his family.
