We spent 3 wonderful days at the Baywick Inn, a small and charming B&B. It is conviently located for an easy walk into town to visit Nelson's wonderful shops, restaurants, and historical sites. Our hosts, Janet and Tim were exceptionally kind and helpful. They recommended several outstanding places we needed to experience which were indeed terrific. The breakfasts were simply... More

The Baywick Inn is by far one of the best experiences I have ever had. The owners were warm and friendly, full of information, delicious food, and just incredibly accomodating and helpful. The inn was located just a short walk to the city center, and we got some excellent restaurant recommendations. Stay at least a couple nights if you can! More

If you are wanting to have a great B&B splurge while in Nelson this is the place. We had the Brooksview suite and it was just great. Lovely soaker tub, quite balcony overlooking the stream and garden was very special - great to sit out there and do some reading during the day to. The breakfast by Joan were all... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Baywick. Such friendly people, great food, puppies to pet (if you want to), clean, well-cared for and so close to downtown. We highly recommend it. More

Thank you Melissa for your very positive review. Jazz is doing great and Mombozzie is still not very happy with him, but most guests want to take her for a walk to the centre of New Zealand so that keeps her very happy, thanks again, Janet More

My wife and I recently visited New Zealand and stayed in various Bed and Breakfasts on the South Island and this was our favorite. The friendliness of the hosts, the amazing fresh fruit included in the breakfast, the conveniently close location to downtown Nelson, the excellent condition of the rooms...everything was exactly as we were hoping. Highly recommended! More

This was a very warm and friendly place to stay in Nelson. To echo all the other reviews, the Canadian/New Zealand couple Janet and Tim are the friendliest hosts and take particular pride in Janet's delicious breakfasts which are indeed impressive and delicious.

Janet and Tim are great hosts and cook a fantastic breakfast. If it wasn't for them we would'nt have gone to the World of Wearable Arts which is one of the funkiest museums I have ever visited. The Baywick Inn is in a great central location and has comfy beds and great books to read. Highly recommended. More

Even though we turned up earlier than expected we were gladly welcomed by our hosts. The gardens and the creek are beautiful. My room was comfortable and spacious and the bathtub was wonderful after all the travelling we had done. I would stay here again very happily. More

Thank you for your review and kind words. Glad you enjoyed the 'century' old tub in this room (Parkdale) which also has a modern stand along shower. It is always a treat to have a soak after a long drive or tramp. Hopefully we will see you again. More

This was the second time we have stayed with Janet and Tim. The reason we went back was because we enjoyed it so much the first time! We were not disappointed. We stayed in the Victorian cottage and cannot be faulted, like home away from home. The breakfasts were extra special, not the usual bacon, egg and sausages. More

Thank you for returning to the Baywick Inn. We are very pleased that you liked the new 'Victorian Cottage', Tim really worked hard at designing it to match the original house, but with all the modern and green features. I am also very glad that you enjoyed the breakfasts, thanks again for your kind words. More
