My stay in Nelson at Joya was a perfect stay.. with the wonderful Paulina and her family. I loved my room with some nice peaceful environment, a balcony to myself with a small swing and lot of 'me' time.

“Misleading”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

I feel as the information given in the website was misleading as it did not reflect the service I received. My experience of Paulina was that she is not as 'nice' as she makes out to be in her website. Clearly every one else who has reviewed has felt differently about the service, but this how I experienced it.

Kia Ora, Thank you for this review. Positve or negative comments, they all need to voiced, understood and dealt with. However, it would have been better, for me, as well as for Tripadvisor's readers if you would have been more explicit about what the issues were. In other words, if there would have been a description of a situation, anything... More

Our holiday in Nelson was made even better by the wonderful accommodation at Joya and the host Paulina. Accomodation is very clean and conveniently located a walking distance to the city centre. The garden is just stunning and the studio itself gives you a feeling of warmth. Our host was very helpful and friendly, serving us a delicious, healthy breakfast... More

Thank you for this. I know it was important for you to have some time out from your busy lives. I am glad that your stay here could contribute to the peace and quiet you needed. I am sure we are going to meet again. Wishing you well, Paulina More

“Absolute Bliss”

Reviewed 2 April 2013

Words can not explain what a delight this find was. After trawling around Nelson looking for somewhere suitable to welcome my partner to New Zealand with, Joya exceeded every ideal I could have. Natural wood filled GORGEOUS apartment, fully furnished and with absolutely everything we could need. Large open plan, sunlight filled living space, a bed big enough for 4... More

Thank you, thank you! Never read that many superlatives :) Guess it was the company you kept, that really created this 'bliss" But of course I am happy that y Joya contributed to the experience:) Hope to meet again when you next visit these fair isles. Paulina More

“Deserves more than 5 stars”

Reviewed 31 March 2013

Stayed in a garden villa with its beautifully landscaped gardens and refreshing little pond in front of the porch. The space was more than adequate with kitchen and enough living room. The beds pleasantly comfortable. What makes this bed and breakfast so enjoyable are the many little touches that the owner Paulina extends to her guests. She reminded me of... More

“Superb accommodation!”

Reviewed 27 March 2013

What a lovely and tranquil setting in a superb garden. From the moment we arrived Paulina, owner and hostess, made us feel welcome and comfortable. She is extremely helpful and pleasant. We arrived suffering a bit of jet lag and were immediately accommodated far beyond any expectations. We were in an upstairs Villa with a beautiful view from our balcony.... More

Thank you for this review. And specifically for the fact that in your experience the lack of an ensuite wasn't a 'deterrant'. For some people it would be, which I understand. Glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for these kind words. Warm regards to you! Paulina More

If you're looking for somewhere tranquil and beautiful to stay in Nelson, then I wholeheartedly recommend Joya, run by the charming Paulina who could not have been more welcoming and helpful. I stayed here for four nights so that I could do some walking in the Abel Tasman park and it was the perfect spot - Paulina's delicious breakfast with... More

Thanks for your comments! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you mentioning the villa room as a nice and comfortable place to come back to after your daily trips through the Abel Tasman. Best and thanks again, Paulina More
