This is a great choice for someone spending a few days in Nelson, particularly if you don't have access to a car. The villa is in a quiet neighborhood,but within easy walking distance of the town center. The rooms and garden are immaculately maintained,and the owners are helpful and readily available. Breakfast features the usual continental items plus a single... More

We spent one night at this beautiful home in March and wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts, Val and Wayne were very friendly. The house and grounds were impeccable. We stayed in the Master Bedroom Ensuite which was large, homey and comfortable with lovely amentiies. The bathroom was very large, well appointed and with wooden floors. We left... More

We stayed 3 nights in the Loft - outstanding accommodation every bit as good as the photos on the web site suggest. The balcony has a view over the town to the sea in the distance. The house is furnished and decorated to a high standard. We were made very welcome.

Val and Wayne were friendly and helpful. The position of... More

Shelbourne Villa was a brilliant place to stay with hosts that go out of their way to make you welcome.

The breakfasts were eaten at a communal table and were perfect. Lots of... More

I stayed for 2 nights in Nelson before moving onto friends. The villa was in a great location, only a short walk from the main city shops and restaurants.

Wayne and val. great hosts. Gave great travel advice. Did the best breakfasts. Location just a few minutes from town. Walking. Will stay there again

We stayed at Shelbourne Villa for only 1 night this past December - and the lesson we learned is we definitely need more than 1 night in Nelson. We stayed at the large master bedroom right at the entrance of the house, and it was very beautiful with a large ensuite bathroom and wooden floors. The hosts were very welcoming... More
