We had 3 nights at the Cambria House to explore the Nelson area. This is a first rate B&B with wonderful rooms, nice outdoor area, wifi, TV and comfortable common areas. The breakfast is exceptional and they have wine available to purchase to have in your room if you didn't take the time to pick something up during the day.... More

We have just come back to the UK after spending nearly five weeks in New Zealand, easily the most extraordinarily beautiful and spectacular country we have ever visited. Although based in Christchurch with our daughter, we toured the South Island extensively and experienced a wide range of accommodation of differing quality. Easily the best, although closely followed by The Brothers... More

We moved from another highly rated B&B in Nelson but it was no match for this one ! We had a superior room which was large, very comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom and very quiet. The hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful in all respects. A lovely couple with whom we felt immediately at home . Breakfasts... More

What a joy to stay here. Came home with house envy. Comfortable and spacious accommodation. Lovely breakfast in a family friendly dining room where you get to eat with other guests around a huge table and share stories. Karole and Dave could not have been more helpful, booking a trip to Abel Tasmin national park for us. Nothing was too... More

We really enjoyed our two night stay at this delightful property, within a 15 minute walk to Nelson town.Karel and David made us feel really at home and as they are N.Z born and bred had a vast knowledge of this beautiful country. Our room was very comfy although we did find the en suite rather small (a minor detail).Breakfast... More

We stayed at Cambria House at the end of a tour of South Island. We had family near by so this was an obvious choice for us to stay at Cambria House as the location was perfect. However, we do not think we could have picked a better place ourselves, it was perfect in every way. The hosts, Karel and... More

Although we only stayed here for one night, we thoroughly enjoyed it. As other visitors have said the hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, especially after we arrived fairly late following the ferry crossing and and wet drive down to Nelson. After leaving our cases in the spacious and comfortable room, we were given recommendations for restaurants in town. The... More

An extremely well run B&B. I can only repeat and agree with all points made by other previous reviewers. Suffice to say that hosts Karel & David go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay making it "a home from home".Their advice and recommendations ensured that our three day stay with them gave us a flavour...

A superior bed and breakfast is how it markets itself and it meets those boasts easily. We had a very friendly welcome from both of our hosts who could not do enough to help you. The huge room had period furniture and also had an equally large bathroom with both a bath and separate shower cabinet and a bonus was... More
