“Deserving of it's #1 status!”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

We booked a couple of nights in Nelson to recover from our 24hr trip from the UK, on our way down to other parts of the South Island, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Te Puna Wai is a gorgeous colonial-style house in a lovely setting, and Richard and James were superb hosts... More

“One night of luxury”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Travelling in May is great as the days are sunny and warm enough for t shirts. Nights a little colder. So many things to do and see in... More

We stayed four nights, one on the lower floor front that was gorgeous (with a much needed washer & dryer!) and the last three on the top floor with this magnificent view of the water. We felt so at home... More
