This is a great choice for someone spending a few days in Nelson, particularly if you don't have access to a car. The villa is in a quiet neighborhood,but within easy walking distance of the town center. The rooms and garden are immaculately maintained,and the owners are helpful and readily available. Breakfast features the usual continental items plus a single... More

We spent one night at this beautiful home in March and wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts, Val and Wayne were very friendly. The house and grounds were impeccable. We stayed in the Master Bedroom Ensuite which was large, homey and comfortable with lovely amentiies. The bathroom was very large, well appointed and with wooden floors. We left... More

We stayed 3 nights in the Loft - outstanding accommodation every bit as good as the photos on the web site suggest. The balcony has a view over the town to the sea in the distance. The house is furnished and decorated to a high standard. We were made very welcome. More

Stayed for two nights. Great location for town - not too much going on there for our stay. Room was not totally wonderful for my husband who is disabled - shower wise that is, a safer stool is needed. Breakfasts good but would prefer a choice as at other b&bs. Val and Wayne were friendly and helpful. The position of... More

Thanks for your feedback and a couple of things just so that you know. Shelbourne Villa doesn't have rooms suitable for people with other than minor physical disabilities and we are very careful not to represent to anyone that it does - we were very up-front with your travel agent about the nature of facilities available when they made your...

We spent three nights with Wayne and Val, who kindly stored our luggage while we were trekking in the Abel Tasman Park. We had the loft room, with amazing views over the city, our own private large balcony, a separate sitting area and a very modern bathroom. The breakfasts were eaten at a communal table and were perfect. Lots of... More

I stayed for 2 nights in Nelson before moving onto friends. The villa was in a great location, only a short walk from the main city shops and restaurants. The hosts were lovely people, very helpful and made a lovely breakfast. For me it was the lovely quiet garden room which enabled me to have some good sleep without disturbance. More

We stayed at Shelbourne Villa for only 1 night this past December - and the lesson we learned is we definitely need more than 1 night in Nelson. We stayed at the large master bedroom right at the entrance of the house, and it was very beautiful with a large ensuite bathroom and wooden floors. The hosts were very welcoming... More

A beautiful B&B in a charming town with very welcoming hosts. We stayed in the upstairs loft room, which is the size of a 1-bedroom apartment. It is beautifully designed and decorated. The bed is a super-king, perfect for a tall guy like me (195cm, 6'5"). The only minor difficulty is that I had to watch my head going up... More
