Had the great fortune to select this property for 3 nights via internet searching. The accommodation was simply the best we have ever had in our many travels! The total accommodation consists of about 5 different options on the side of the hill, all facing north. The views are just the best, both from the huge panoramic windows and your... More

breath taking a piece of heaven., wow there are no words to describe how beautiful this place was! We were welcomed by the owner who's character was very laid back and welcoming. My husban and I were celerbrating our anniversary and there was no better place to enjoy it but here at the Wheelhouse Inn. Beautifully laid out, very private... More

We recently stayed for 2 nights at the Crow's Nest and only wished it could have been more. The view is so amazing that we spent our afternoons and evenings at the apartment, rather than going into town. It was very private with our own large deck and BBQ, not to mention a comfortable lounge. The kitchen was very well... More

We stayed here because someone we knew recommended it and it turned out to be one of the best places we stayed in our three weeks on the south island. We stayed in the Crows Nest and thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness, THE VIEW, being separate from other people and not having to worry about noise, and having our own deck... More

Nice place, we stayed in the crows nest. Great views from the bedroom. However place is high up so difficult to walk into town. No breakfast provided either. Owners were away when we arrived so can't comment on service. More

We stayed in the Main House Deck and as everyone else has already noted the view is stunning from both the lovely lounge area and the deck outside where we spent a lot of time in the sunshine. Views aside this is also a very well furnished, well maintained and comfortable accomodation. We spent two nights here but could easily... More

We stayed at the Captain's Quarters in September 2011 and loved it. We had stayed at motels throughout the rest of the South Island and for the same price we had the comfortable finishings and incredible view that the Wheelhouse offers. The hosts provided a comprehensive overview of local dining and attractions which was very helpful. The second bedroom and... More

We've stayed here twice now, in different houses, each unique but with that superb view and great attention to detail of interior fittings to give that 'ship' feel. Kind and flexible hosts, who happily gave us a special discount for a large group booking. Wouldn't hesitate to go again. More

As others have noted, the views from this place (we stayed in the Wheelhouse) are absolutely magnificent - so compelling, it's a bit difficult to tear yourself away to sample all the activities available in the Nelson area. The living quarters themselves are wonderful: spacious and comprehensive, with full kitchen, TV, stereo, barbecue, and who knows what other amenities. Our... More

The Wheelhouse is one of several separate houses available for holiday lets within the one premises. We were pleasantly surprised to find it is a 3 storey house set high on the hill with views as fabulous as their website shows. We sat and watched the sun set over the bay, then we watched the planes taking off and landing... More
