• David (9/5): Perfect, ideal and memorable. Thanks to our hosts. We would love to come and stay again. - Wonderful view of Tasman Bay and islands with Abel Tasman Mountains in the distance. awesome sunset. This is an excellent house with very good facilities and impressive nautical memorabilia. If you don't have a car, it's a 2 km walk to town for shopping, and 1.5 km to excellent waterfront restaurants, which we enjoyed, although this walking may not suit everyone.
• Lynda (10/5): What a stunningly beautiful view ! Wish I could have sat and looked at it longer. A wonderful place to stay ! - Has to be the view ! It was spectacular! Nothing everything was very good
• Debra (10/5): - An amazing property, with spectacular views. The property has everything you need. I would definitely stay again
• Fiona (9/5): Stunning views - fabulous property - The view is absolutely stunning and it’s a great location. It was really well equipped and spacious and perfect for us. The only negative is that there is quite a short sharp steep part as you turn into the drive and the car we hired did skid a little even when it was dry!
• joyzhang54 (10/5): 非常棒的体验！ - 地理位置、风景都很好 无
• Anna (10/5): -
• Diane (10/5): - The view was amazing, so beautiful. Loved having a balcony Steep drive up to the accommodation

• Alice (9/5): - Stunning scenery, comfortable beds and great location! Blinds were a little sheer.
• Frank (10/5): The Wheelhouse Inn is absolutely stunning. - Absolutely fantastic view, great little gem. Lovely little balcony for watching the sunset. The facilities are all encompassing, nothing to be missed. Decor is truly sweet. Nothing.
• Eliane (10/5): - The view was stunning, we enjoyed the sunset from the terrace and later also from the lounge area inside. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were clean, spacious and very well equipped. The info pack with recommendations and background story of the owners gave the stay a personal touch.

• Graeme (9/5): Wonderful place to stay very good off street parking - Amazing views. Excellent hosts. Change of linen
• liwen (8/5): -
• Nathaniel (8/5): Stunning views in a cosy residential neighborhood - The views are real stunners. Close to central Nelson, but also a lot of privacy. Lovely patio. Loved the nautical theme as well. We found the bed and pillows rather hard. It’s also an older house, and doesn’t have the newest appliances, but everything works.
• elsen (10/5): - Would stay there again
• Natalie (8/5): -
• Frédéric (10/5): Calme et belle vue - Belle vue sur la baie
• Christine (10/5): - This accommodation is exceptional and views are breathtaking from both inside and the outside decking area.
• Sian (10/5): Livery location, comfortable stay - Great location with spectacular view over the bay. Very comfortable and had good facilities. Parking could be challenging for some I think
• Kate (10/5): Just wonderful! - The wonderful view from the deck and spacious sitting room Nothing !
• Emma (8/5): - - Fantastic location - Spacious master bedroom and downstairs living area - Amazing balcony views - Second bedroom is tiny - it cannot people fit two people (in particular the top bunk bed due to the low ceiling) - Bedsheets were scratchy and felt like sleeping on cardboard
• Leah (9/5): Beautiful view!! - I would have preferred the second bedroom (downstairs) have a queen/full bed rather than overlapping bunk beds. I ended up sleeping on the fold out couch instead.
• Kerrie (10/5): - The view was incredible
• Michael (9/5): -
• Clinton (7/5): Fabulous picture window - It’s ALL about the view. The Boat Shed Cafe nearby was fabulous. Very dated / tired feel to the whole place. VERY hot, with no A/C beyond the living area.
• Peter (8/5): -
• Gillian (10/5): -
• Frans (10/5): Cozy with a fabulous view. - Located on a hillside overlooking the bay, this B&B was definitely the best we had on the South Island so far. Cozy interior and a complete kitchen and a bedroom with a magnificent view. We stayed in the Captains Quarters and will recommend it to our friends. Minor detail: When we arrived the cleaners were still there and they accidentally removed some items that we had put in the fridge.
• Paul (10/5): Fabulous place to stay . Amazing views . - Views were outstanding Not possible to walk to the town but that was clear when booking
• Rony (10/5): - דירה גדולה יש בה הכל נוף מרהיב ביופיו בעל הדירה שחכתי את שמו איש מקסים חיכה שנגיע בשביל לעזור לנו לא להתבלבל למצא את המקום איש יקר תודה אין תלונות
• Helen (9/5): Will be back - Beautiful views Nothing
• Natalie (10/5): A little touch of paradise in Nelson!! - What’s not to like. Oh my goodness the view!! Simply breathtaking - I sat there just watching the world go by. Unit was clean and well appointed. Instructions from staff regarding location were spot on. Really liked the folder with recommendations and suggestions. We dined at The Styx (yum) and wandered around the market! We didn’t like that we had to leave!!
• Alison (9/5): Fantastic views, accommodation and weather. Perfect! - The views were simply stunning. Accommodation thoughtfully laid out. Really clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Nelson.

• Karen (9/5): Absolutely breathtaking views - Stunning views Very spacious Lovely balcony Comfortable bed Kitchen and bathroom a little old fashioned and tired looking but serviceable No dishwasher The drive is not for the faint hearted- a sharp turn into a steep ascent

• Fiona (10/5): - Amazing views! Gorgeous nautical theme throughout the property. Very steep road leading up to the property, not for the faint hearted.
• reid (9/5): -
• Colleen (9/5): Beautiful, quiet spot - We loved the gorgeous views from our lovely apartment — very quiet area but close to all the great restaurants & shops in central Nelson We were grateful for the fan in the bedroom but AC would have been even better as we visited during a hot week
• Anne (10/5): -
• Laurence (10/5): Apparemment exceptionnel - La vue de l'appartement est exceptionnelle. L'appartement est très spacieux et très joliment décoré. Le jardin est magnifique.
• Sofi (10/5): Beautiful water views - Beautiful views, central location! Nothing!
• Iain (10/5): - Amazing view and excellent location. Nothing
• Sara (10/5): The best view of any place we have stayed!! An exceptional home! - The "wow factor" of the view was exceptional!! What a beautiful place to stay! I only wish we could have stayed longer! Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfy, very clean....beautiful! I really can't think of anything?! Everything was wonderful!
• Pius (10/5): -
• Thuyen ( Sally) (8/5): - Nice view Alot of stairs
• Mark (10/5): - The view
• Sutcliffe (10/5): - Value for money and the view is amazing
• Trishy (10/5): -
• Xinping (8/5): -
• Raffael (10/5): -
• Alexandra (10/5): -
• Natasja (7/5): Regardless of poor sleeper couch and inadequate toweling, it still remained a top experience we 🩷 - I love the property is it absolutely heavenly! The sleeper couch was of poor quality. You are basically sleeping in springs. A topper is the bare minimum to help. We had to use the lounge suite couch cushions to create a surface that a 73 old man could sleep on without pain. Despite mentioning various times there is a 3rd person with us, there was not adequate towels. Only enough for 2 guests. No umbrella was available for while we sat outside.
• Robert (10/5): -
• Paul (8/5): Great apart from sofa bed - Views spectacular, clean, cool place Sofa bed very uncomfortable. Need’s another mattress. Hard to sleep on springs!!
• Pearson (10/5): Relax with a wonderful view - The view and the living and sleeping spaces were spectacular and very comfortable. The key was in the door and safety was never a concern. Parking was right by the door and a little tricky to get on and off the driveway. Well decorated. Nothing
• Catherine (10/5): Quiet location well equipped apartment with amazing views - Million dollar views. Good size apartment for two. Nothing
• Yvonne (10/5): -
• Priya (9/5): Really nice stay and beautiful views - View is amazing. Nicely kept property.
• Fiona (10/5): - Amazing property, so much space and the views are stunning. The owners have thought of everything you might need. Great communication. Steep drive up to the property... but you don't get stunning views without going up!
• catherine (10/5): -
• Hans (10/5): Een absolute aanrader - Een geweldig huis op een fantastische plek. Van alle gemakken voorzien, inclusief terras met een prachtig uitzicht waar we heerlijk hebben gegeten en ontbeten. Een aanrader! Alles was tip top in orde!
• Kerry (10/5): -
• Andreas (9/5): - Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung mit Terrasse. Der Blick über die Bucht ist toll!
• Robyn (8/5): - We are four 60+ Aussie women travelling NZ. We stayed in the Crow's Nest which has beautiful views across Tasman Bay/Te Tai-o-Aorere. The accommodations was well organised and clean, and we loved exploring the property discovering the comical ceramic gulls. The sofa bed wasn't very comfortable, however what sofa beds are.
• merrill (10/5): -
• Britta (10/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Felt like a home away from home - The views were amazing and changed all the time with the weather and time of day! The accommodation was very comfortable and well appointed. Be prepared - it's a steep drive and our hire car struggled. But you don't get those views without a climb!
