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.Guest review byKimNew Zealand - 10.0

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!Guest review byJoNew Zealand - 8.0

Lots to do - walking on the beach, visiting Pic's Peanut Butter Factory, Natureland Zoo, shopping, eating, the Saturday Market . . . Very impressed with the bus service and friendly bus drivers.Guest review byJillNew Zealand - 10.0
Lots of great restaurants, some with water views.
Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.Guest review byAndraeNew Zealand - 10.0
A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees
A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel TasmanGuest review byRoss

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.8Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 24 reviewsThe 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.Guest review bySusanNew Zealand
