Amber House is definitely NOT at the centre of Nelson. It is an old school house turned into a B&B. The accomodation was clean. The tea and coffee arrangements were a little unusual as they were in a community dining room and not in your own room. We did not stay for breakfast so cannot comment on the food arrangements....

I stayed in the Rose Room 2 doulble beds with a heat pump and a 12ft stud. stayed two nights couldn't recommend $178.20 did not include breakfast , they were an extra $7.50 or $15.00 for a cooked breakfastper day. For value you would be better off paying more for comfort and privacy. They also quote a 10% surcharge for... More

We stayed at this hotel and it was creepy. The little old man that needs to know all about your business is the weirdest dude. Bed and toilet in a not finished room? No ventilation when you have a shower and out of date food. Yuck!

We had the Amber Room for one night either side of walking the Abel Tasmin Park. Room was comfortable, but our en suite was a cupboard? Owner was helpful in storing our baggage whilst on the trek, but would not return. This was our most expensive B&B in the South Island, and least good value for money. All others had... More

Beautiful building but I had a nightmare stay at this accommodation. I stayed upstairs in the gold room. Very odd set-up of my room included a door to an adjoining room that did not lock on my side, There was a window in the door to the adjoining room (clouded but no curtains). At the time I stayed the bathroom... More

This is the opinion of myself and my partner..... Nightmare experience. We have visited NZ 3 times in 3 years and this was the worse experience we had in NZ. Nelson is a fabulous place, shame this guest house is so horrendous. We arrived and was met by a Filipino lady who could not speak much English, but could manage... More

We stayed in the blue room for one night to round off a ten day holiday in the nelson area: great room, beautiful house and lovely welcome without it being overbearing. The cooked breakfast was scrummy although we had to forego the soda bread, so not really an ulster fry anymore. Delicious nonetheless. Ideally situated in Nelson, with an easy... More

Where to start, location of the B & B is sadly the only positive of our stay at the Amber House. For the price of the room, it was a massive let down, I was greeted by an old grumpy host that spent half an hour showing me how to close the front door, I like to think at the... More

Loved the hotel, its so beautiful and well decorated. Room was fine, apart from the apparent "free wireless" not working and shower temperature not able to stabilise, sporadically changing from extreme hot to extreme cold. Host offered second night at a discounted rate if we paid cash, we told him we'd think about it. Next day, wanted to check out... More
