Fodor's Expert Review Wakefield Quay House B&B
385 Wakefield Quay, Nelson, Nelson, 7010, New Zealand
This graceful villa has one of the best waterfront locations in town. The 1905 house features native rimu-wood floors, luxurious furnishings, local artwork, and historic maritime photographs. Pure wool rugs warm the floors while heavy feather duvets warm the beds. Hospitality here is legendary; breakfast is different every day, and evening drinks and snacks are served on the sweeping veranda. One of the owners also runs a RYA sailing school (Sail Nelson) and you are welcome to set sail with him.
PROS
- 180-degree views of mountains, sea, and sunsets
- easy walk to good waterfront restaurants
- evening drinks on the veranda with host
CONS
- some road noise
- limited off-street parking
- minimum two-night stay
