“First rate accommodations, amazing views, gracious hosts”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

My husband and I just returned from a whirlwind, nine-day trip to New Zealand, primarily to visit our 20- year old who is studying in Wellington. By the time we arrived in Nelson, we were all overwhelmed, exhausted and in desperate need of some TLC. We found that and more at Te Puna Wai. First, the house is beautiful...completely updated...

“Amazing experience”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

This place is fabulous - James and Richard are wonderful hosts. The breakfast is amazing, the views are beautiful, and the rooms are charming. The town of Nelson is also lovely - there are some lovely dining options, and it has a great feel to it.

Te Puna Wai is a gorgeous colonial-style house in a lovely setting, and Richard and James were superb hosts... More

“One night of luxury”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Richard & James at Te Puna Wai sure know how to look after their guests. The place is beautiful and so very comfortable and has the most exquisite views over the bay. Travelling in May is great as the days are sunny and warm enough for t shirts. Nights a little colder. So many things to do and see in... More

We felt so at home... More
