Spent two nights here. Bedroom was a good size and the bed was comfortable. WiFi worked fine. Owner was very nice. From the outside you can see mountains in the distance -- great view. Bathroom is down the hall but pretty big. There is also a common room for eating breakfast and watching TV (not a TV in the room... More

Woodsy is set on a slope of woods overlooking Nelson and the bay. We stayed for 2 nights in the Topaz room, which was a large room overlooking the wooded entrance. It was furnished in a style suited to the age of the property. We loved the space of the room, which was extremely comfortable. Good tea and coffee is... More

Recently stayed here for a night on the way through Nelson. This nineteenth century house has a second life as a B&B, with interesting wood finishes and other period features. The house is located close to the centre of town, set on the slopes of a hill among the bush. The guest balcony has great views of Nelson, the port... More

Our stay at Woodsy was so relaxing and soothing, and the location is wonderful: in the foothills looking out over the town. Shane and Selene were gracious and helped us plot our stay in the area. While downtown is a little walk, parking is easy and there is a great bodega, takeaway and pub just a block away. We stayed... More

An older home that has been renovated over the years. If you want a place that is like an older estate home - this is the place. Large comfortable rooms and attentive care from the owners. The breakfast was an extra cost but well worth it for the home made food. If you are expecting polished granite and modern furniture... More

My wife and I recently had a lovely stay at the Woodsy house. A great old house and fantastic location - also very secluded from main area as well which is a perfect balance for a nice restful sleep (as well as for ourselves in having a van crammed with furniture away from the eye on the main street). Owners... More

Lovingly restored old house with comfortable rooms and nice views. The owners provide lots of tips for Nelson area and also do pickups from the local bus station; nice cup of tea upon arrival. Would stay again.

We stayed 3 nights here and really loved the character of the place which was a traditional historic wooden house in a charming elevated position about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Nelson (which is also charming). Also great location for nice river walks and walks to the centre of NZ. We stayed in Topaz room which was large... More

This was the most wonderfully, relaxing and indulgent break I've experience in years. The location and house could not have been more exquisite.....the owners know how to cater to all ages and desires; this was a slice of pure heaven and my partner and I wanted for nothing. It was just what we were looking for - peace, beauty and... More
