Had to stay in Nelson for 3 days 2 nights. Maria and Rick were the consummate hosts. Nothing was ever a problem. Located about 5 minutes walk from the town centre was extremely convenient. Could not believe the breakfast. Feasted like a king with a great choice of fruit berries breads cereals and a cooked breakfast as well. The room... More

The excellent reports of Collingwood Manor from previous Trip Advisor reviews influenced my decision to select Collingwood Manor for my one night stay in Nelson.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Our room was spotless, the breakfast was the best we had in 6 weeks in NZ and Rick and Maria really went out of there way to help in any way they could.

Rick and Maria have only recently opened this B and B, and what a lovely job they are doing!

My friend and I stayed at this Nelson B&B during our Rugby World Cup visit to New Zealand. The Victorian house is clean, comfortable and updated but retains all the charm and ambiance of a bygone era. Our hosts went out of their way to create a festive atmosphere for all rugby fans staying at the house and we were... More
