Looking for a guest house?

Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.

    Really nice quiet little Hostel. Rooms were better than alot of Hostels I have stayed in around the world. Staff were fantastic and had alot of little local tips for different places I could go to make the most of my stay there. Definitely will be choosing the Dancing Bear again next time my adventures take me back through Nelson

    Walking distance to food, coffee and shopping. The suite was spacious and the temperature inside was perfect, the location was quiet and felt very private even though it was downtown. The hosts were responsive and accommodating whenever we had questions and when we wanted to change our room and add on an extra night.

    The Hume is a very nice boutique hotel. The place is very charming with a real feel of history. The restaurant was great and Mike's place was amazing. There are a lot of great places to eat within an easy walk and some after hours entertainment on the weekends at the Royal. If you like a Speak Easy, be sure to find the door with the red light in the alleyway behind the hotel!

    Walking distance to the city center with a lot of restaurants and cafes. The breakfast is good, but there are many cheaper options in town. The room was clean, but a bit outdated. Okay for a couple of days.
