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.

  • 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
