Incredible views of Nelson and the snow-capped mountains. Perfect central location but very quiet because it’s up above the road.

Lovely Historic Homestead
Delightful character home. Parking is down a long driveway which google does not direct you too.....I ended up at their neighbours. Room comfortable, shared bathroom had shower and bath. Couldn't find anyone at reception.

Hi Shelley, Thank you for taking you time and sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that there were no car parks vacant up near the house. And regarding the receptionist, we dont have a receptionist as we offer self-check in and self check out for the guests. Thank you.

This is a great old house with an amazing atmosphere. Close to the centre of town with out the noise and hassle. The view is to die for and the fellow guests great company. A great experience if you don't mind sharing bathrooms.

Disliked: Room comfort
charming house but very noisy
The antique house was really fascinating to walk into and explore the hallways. But the actual comfort was not amazing. The bed was low quality, carpet in the bathroom, and worst of all the walls were paper thin. I enjoyed the incredibly loud snoring come from the neighbor room the whole night .... the price is great, but I rest was hard to find at this place.

simple and nice stay
This accommodation is basic and nice, good value for a private bedroom. However, the GPS brought me to the number of street where the accommodation located, but actually the accommodation located on the hill behind the neighbour.

A wonderful home from home
This is an outstanding house, lovingly maintained, extremely comfortable, and gives you the feeling you are welcome house guests rather than customers. The elevated views from windows, terrace and balcony are delightful, just 10 minutes walk from town, with the beautiful Queens Gardens very close by. Excellent kitchen/dining/lounge facilities, and friendly owners and staff who work hard to provide a unique holiday experience. Excellent value and a real delight!

Great place to meet other solo travelers. EAsy walking distance to town and right next to start of the walk to Center of NZ (closed due to fire risk). Historic building adds character. Set on a hillside it had great views over the city.

Fwllworth is a good option if you are on a budget but are tired of sleeping in dorms. The house is a short walk from central Nelson and can be spotted on the hillside from a couple of streets away.

I booked the modest room. It was nicely located at the end of the hall so was quiet and bright with natural light. The bathrooms were roomy, modern, nice, and very clean. This place is a converted old Victorian so it has some old house noises but very charming. The house is very convenient to downtown, activities, grocery, and restaurants. The shared kitchen and dining area are well appointed and roomy with everything you need to cook for yourself. While I didn't get any response to my emails prior to my stay, they were responsive once I was there. Very much enjoyed my stay here.

Unique
Finding the entrance to the hotel was difficult, clearer signage on the road to direct staff to the front door would be helpful. Staff allowed me to check in early so I could sleep which I appreciated. Unusual setup - the building is a dentist, hotel and also has a juice caravan out front. While I was unsure about the hotel on arrival, I really enjoyed my stay. While I shared a bathroom, the hotel had plenty of bathrooms to share/use, so no waiting. The views from the hotel decks were amazing. Hotel also close to good walking tracks and close to the main town. Hotel also had a good feel, all guests were respectful and conformed to cleaning up after themselves. Hotel attracted mature guests 40-50-60s.

Beautiful character stay that was affordable.
A great relaxing place to stay, especially after walking the Abel Tasman. Soaking in the claw-foot bath and sleeping in a spacious bed amongst my highlights. Easy access to town or to a local neighbourhood bar, the staff and facilities were fantastic. I would gladly and easily return for another visit.

Beautiful building to stay in
I had a really excellent overnight stay at Fellwortg House. I booked fairly last minute but the receptionist/caretaker was very welcoming. The room I had was huge with big windows looking over a park into the hills. Sharing a bathroom was never a problem as there are 3 (2 with showers AND tubs) and all are close to the guest rooms. The kitchen was also quite nice and had everything I needed with a bonus terrace looking out at the sea. Its about a 10 minute walk to downtown. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

Loads of character
A grand old lady, but somewhat inpersonal staff never introduced themselves didn't know who was a guest and who was working. Gas hobs don't work, how hard is it to have a toaster that works.. will stay again if I can't get a better price elsewhere.

Outstanding value
Couldn't believe the size of the room considering how much I paid. Very nice and tidy. Only complaint was it was a bit cold but the provided heater did the trick.
