In front of our time was a gas grill that we could use freely. The rooms were clean and the bed was super comfortable. In 5-10min we were on foot at the beach.

    Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

    Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

    Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

    good location and wasn't noisy. Kitchenette had all you needed. Guest laundry was a reasonable price and included detergent was a bonus. The owner also offered beach towels when needed. But it was the owner, Dean, who made the place. friendly , helpful and great with recommendations, even ones that were for our future stops. He went out of his way to make sure everybody enjoys there time not only at his place but in Nelson and New Zealand in general. wouldn't hesitate in using the Chelsea Park again

    Very friendly hosts, Carolyn is an absolute gem! She made the most delicious breakfasts and was extremely accommodating. The accommodation itself was perfect, a little home away from home. Warm and cozy, set amongst established trees and very close to town. Will definitely stay here again in the future if we travel back to Nelson. Rate 5 stars +🙂

    Close to Nelson city, east to find, friendly owner, however it was not made clear to me on the site that he was renting out a room in the bottom floor of his family home, I thought it was more private or officially run, him and his family was in the rooms next to and above me
