Lovely old building with lots of character. Nice area to walk around. The restaurant which is owned separately to the hotel was fantastic - food and service. Nice hotel with beer garden just across the road.

Pihopa Retreat, hotel in Nelson

Set in Nelson, 2.8 km from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson, Pihopa Retreat offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden.

The retreat was very well laid out , quiet and many luxuries. Only stayed 1 night so couldn’t make use of the pool. But otherwise the bed was comfortable. Breakfast amazing especially to have it in a church.

    Hardy Street with some amazing restaurants, bars, cafes and shops is a very short wlaking distance from the Chelseas Motor Lodge. Parking was on site and very convenient, there is also a laundry room for residents which is very helpful.

    We only had a day in Nelson after walking the Abel tasman but loved the day we had and wanted longer. We walked around the town centre checking out the op shops, they were great, well priced. We walked in the historical street, very interesting and had a good look outside and inside the cathedral, well worth a look. We caught the bus to the Classic car museum, also well worth a good couple of hours, we loved it! it even had the back to the future car! from there we walked to Totoranui beach where we enjoyed a lovely swim. A good day had by all!

    Pleased with quick service of Smith and Smith to repair windscreen chipped on way up from Christchurch . We looked around museum while fixed . Bit disappointed we didn’t know Motueka was only open half day on Saturday . But KFC picnic at the Rose garden on the Main Street with our dog was good anyway .

    We left it quite late to book accommodation but in the end it worked out really well to have 3 different locations. We did so much in our 9 days, especially considering the weather wasn't always the best. A highlight in the city was the walk up the 'centre of NZ' and also the Myazu Japanese gardens. We can absolutely recommend Kimchi & Wasabi in Trafalgar Street - the best lunch we have had since Melbourne. Also Taaj Indian in Tahunanui Drive - really good food. Get the honey cauliflower.

    Nelson was a delight to visit rain or shine.

    Nelson was a delight to visit rain or shine. Plenty to see if wet and even more when the weather is fine. The city centre is vibrant and an excellent selection of cafes, restaurants and bars. 8 Plates and Hopgoods are excellent restaurants.

    Avner was a wonderful host - and we were very fortunate to have the property to ourselves, it was a wonderful stop in the middle of our New Zealand adventure. Nelson is a fantastic place, it reminds us of all the good things of days gone by. And Avner's bnb is a very special place, the views, the eco environment and the cosy but luxurious feel. The little kitchen area was a great extra so we could eat in on the first evening and watch the sun go down. We won't forget our great weekend in Nelson.

    The only good thing about this property was that it was quite close to the city centre and other places like the Christ Church Cathedral, the Centre of New Zealand monument and a few other places. However, since one would drive to Nelson anyway, anyone can make that drive from anywhere else even stayed out of town, so this place was absolutely not worth it.

    Air NZ cancelled the last flight out of Nelson, and The Hotel Nelson was a last minute need. The staff were extremely welcoming, the room perfect value for money, and the restaurant provided an excellent meal
