Was looking for the perfect place to stay in Nelson for a special trip with my Mother. Came across their website and after reading the reviews chose Harrishill. To be honest I thought the views on the website had been tweaked so when we arrived and were shown to "Maggies" I was blown away by the amazing views. Yes they... More

Its unusual to be able to stay on a working farm 10 minutes from a city centre, and its a real bonus that the owners have collected a "zoo" of tame animals which anyone old or young will enjoy hand feeding. The cabins are a mixture of big, small, old, new, with wood burner/view and without -- from my experience... More

Almost turned around on the drive up the precarious hill to these cottages. Their cows were perched on a ledge adjacent to the road staring at us as we made our way up. Thought we were lost, but as we reached the top, we realized we'd arrived when we saw a sign welcoming us. This place is amazing! The view... More

My wife and I spent 7 nights here during New Years and all that was left were the brand new micro cabins, which although a bit small for a week, turned out perfect for our stay. They come fully equipped with BBQ, fridge, toaster oven, microwave, tv, stereo all that you need. The property is amazing and the family who... More

I highly recommend Harris Hill cottages. We enjoyed a four night stay in Grandma's cottage over Christmas and had a really relaxing time. The cottages are very private and being on a sheep farm is a really unique experience. The cottage was very well equipped and we enjoyed a BBQ dinner and bottle of NZ wine on the beautiful deck...

Sue Harris and family welcomed us with open arms when we arrived. We were given "Maggies" and the view of the alps and Tasman Sea was breathtaking and awesome. The rooms were very clean and they were very comfortable. We felt like we were at home because of the wonderful accommodation and Sue's hospitality. The farm animals were really cute... More

If you're reading this, then you've looked beyond the Hotels listings, and even the B&Bs to find something rare. Look no further. HH Cottages is a family enterprise, where the family lives on site in one property, and manages several cottages built on their working farm. Our hostess, Rachel, directed us further down the dirt road beyond their home to... More

This place is just superb; it is in a great country location yet only a 5 minute drive from the centre of Nelson. It was our 2nd stay in Sunshine cottage and they’ve now extended the veranda decking so you can enjoy the view of Nelson even more. The cottage is homely, has all you want and with a plentiful...
