We stayed here, book ending a trip to the Abel Tasman National Park. It's a lovely old house, pretty garden, large rooms, great breakfast, warm and welcoming hosts, free wifi, 2 mins walk from the nicer end of town. Perfect.

Wonderful place to stay. The hosts are welcoming but not intrusive. It is impeccably clean and the service is wonderful. Be sure to bring an appetitie for the relaxing, fresh, plentiful breakfasts from the extensive and accomodating menu. Of equal interest is the character of the beautiful old home. Sitting in the lounge with an evening tipple was as devine... More

What is there not to like about Cathedral Inn - the hidden gem of Nelson! My first introduction was our lovely hosts - Sally and Neville - who greeted me warmly and shared their insider knowledge and love of the local area. The Inn, one of Nelson's older mansions, has been lovingly and carefully restored providing very comfortable accommodation -... More

Prior to staying at the Cathedral... More

Im very well travelled, from 5 star luxury to backpacker, all over the world. In Nelson, you would be very hard pressed to beat the convenience, the quality and the relaxed home away from home feel that you get at the Cathedral Inn. Hosts Sally Neville have a deceptively attentive but laid-back manner, and you quite quickly find yourself heading... More

We stayed here for 3 nights following our transfer to the south Island. It was a wonderful place to stay and very restful. Sally, Neville and Larry were great hosts giving us hints as to what to do. It was also nice as Sally did some washing for us. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were out of... More

Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of 2012. Location was brilliant, just a short stroll through the beautiful gardens around the historic Cathedral 2 doors down and you're in downtown Nelson! Sally & Neville (and the brother in-law... Larry?) we're most perfect hosts, happy to help with suggestions and directions. Neville also cooks the meanest breakfast you'll ever... More

We spent three nights at The Cathedral Inn during our time in Nelson. Sally and Neville were the ultimate hosts - they helped to book excursions to Abel Tasman National Park and for a wine tour, made reservations for dinner and made suggestions for places to eat. The rooms are cozy, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast includes a full spread... More

We enjoyed staying at this inn. Sally and Neville great hosts. When we arrived he suggest we go to Abel Tazeman National Park and made reservations for us for the next day and it was the most beautiful day to hike and see the beautiful beaches, a highlight of our trip. They gave us great recommendations for dinner and the... More
