Chelsea house is a very nice house with splendid rooms.
Hosts are adorable.
The only hicup is its vicinity to a road. If you are a light sleeper just bring ear plugs but don't miss Ray and Di's sweet hospitality.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Our hosts made us feel like part of the family, and we learned a lot about the area and New Zealand in general. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, and the location is convenient to the city center as well as many surrounding attractions. This will be our choice when we retun.

We stayed at the Chelsea House 0n the 9th, 10th and 11th January 2012 and were made to feel very welcome. The house is gorgeous, stylish and beautifully decorated. The room we stayed in was sumptuous with a very comfortable bed and elegant linen. Every where was meticulously clean and thoughtfully laid out for guests. The breakfasts were fresh, wholesome and tasty.
I was allowed to work on a computer made available and WIFI was provided. We could have stayed longer, but travels called!

We stayed with Diane and Ray for one night and would have loved to stay longer. They truly make you feel at home, the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, the house is a beauty. There's a nice and sunny garden, all facilities for a comfortable stay (coffee and tea, WLAN, TV-Room with DVDs) a splendid breakfast and great chats all along. The ensuite room was spacious and very nice decorated. It's located in a quiet area not far from the town center.
