Fellworth House for Solo Travellers

Incredible views of Nelson and the snow-capped mountains. Perfect central location but very quiet because it’s up above the road.

Delightful character home. Parking is down a long driveway which google does not direct you too.....I ended up at their neighbours. Room comfortable, shared bathroom had shower and bath. Couldn't find anyone at reception.

This is a great old house with an amazing atmosphere. Close to the centre of town with out the noise and hassle. The view is to die for and the fellow guests great company. A great experience if you don't mind sharing bathrooms.

The antique house was really fascinating to walk into and explore the hallways. But the actual comfort was not amazing. The bed was low quality, carpet in the bathroom, and worst of all the walls were paper thin. I enjoyed the incredibly loud snoring come from the neighbor room the whole night .... the price is great, but I rest was hard to find at this place.

This accommodation is basic and nice, good value for a private bedroom. However, the GPS brought me to the number of street where the accommodation located, but actually the accommodation located on the hill behind the neighbour.

Loved the uniqueness, location, views, ease of check in/out

This is an outstanding house, lovingly maintained, extremely comfortable, and gives you the feeling you are welcome house guests rather than customers. The elevated views from windows, terrace and balcony are delightful, just 10 minutes walk from town, with the beautiful Queens Gardens very close by. Excellent kitchen/dining/lounge facilities, and friendly owners and staff who work hard to provide a unique holiday experience. Excellent value and a real delight!

Superb value for money in an old character residence,close to the centre of Nelson.

peace, views, quality of building, environmentally good practices, generosity, ease of entry

Beautiful historic building. Walkable to town during day. Good value for private room. I would stay again for holiday

Great character building renovated to high standards. Perfect central Nelson location.

Great place to meet other solo travelers. EAsy walking distance to town and right next to start of the walk to Center of NZ (closed due to fire risk). Historic building adds character. Set on a hillside it had great views over the city.

Great location and view.Clean and comfortable. Very homely.

Fwllworth is a good option if you are on a budget but are tired of sleeping in dorms. The house is a short walk from central Nelson and can be spotted on the hillside from a couple of streets away.

Stunning views of Nelson. Loved the outdoor patio. Gorgeous, high-ceiling rooms. Calm and quiet - checking in and checking out a breeze.

Very cool period house with beautiful views over the city and good value for money

I booked the modest room. It was nicely located at the end of the hall so was quiet and bright with natural light. The bathrooms were roomy, modern, nice, and very clean. This place is a converted old Victorian so it has some old house noises but very charming. The house is very convenient to downtown, activities, grocery, and restaurants. The shared kitchen and dining area are well appointed and roomy with everything you need to cook for yourself. While I didn't get any response to my emails prior to my stay, they were responsive once I was there. Very much enjoyed my stay here.

Tha property is a historic heritage in NZ. It was worth to stay there. I could see all over the city if Nelson cbd and the ocean.

Absolutely loved it :) would stay here again :)

Fantastic atmosphere, a truly memorable and unique experience with the best view of the city to wake up to. So nice to have somewhere that warmly caters to single travellers I will return...

What a wonderful historic house loved staying there

awesome property and location. Would definitely stay again

I had a wonderful time during my stay.

Finding the entrance to the hotel was difficult, clearer signage on the road to direct staff to the front door would be helpful. Staff allowed me to check in early so I could sleep which I appreciated. Unusual setup - the building is a dentist, hotel and also has a juice caravan out front. While I was unsure about the hotel on arrival, I really enjoyed my stay. While I shared a bathroom, the hotel had plenty of bathrooms to share/use, so no waiting. The views from the hotel decks were amazing. Hotel also close to good walking tracks and close to the main town. Hotel also had a good feel, all guests were respectful and conformed to cleaning up after themselves. Hotel attracted mature guests 40-50-60s.

A great relaxing place to stay, especially after walking the Abel Tasman. Soaking in the claw-foot bath and sleeping in a spacious bed amongst my highlights. Easy access to town or to a local neighbourhood bar, the staff and facilities were fantastic. I would gladly and easily return for another visit.

Quiet and comfortable. Only slight reservation is bathrooms a bit pressured at peak times.

Very relaxing ambience with nice views of the city with a nice decor

Charming historic colonial style building at the edge of town, yet only a few minutes walk to all the services of down town Nelson.

Excellent facilities and thoughtful, helpful, friendly staff. Very central - everything I needed within walking distance. Wonderful well restored historic building and my room was sublime - spacious, elegant and great views.

Room 5 was a bit noisy as it was near the kitchen, but other than that it was all good :-)

Great location - beautiful historic building

I had a really excellent overnight stay at Fellwortg House. I booked fairly last minute but the receptionist/caretaker was very welcoming. The room I had was huge with big windows looking over a park into the hills. Sharing a bathroom was never a problem as there are 3 (2 with showers AND tubs) and all are close to the guest rooms. The kitchen was also quite nice and had everything I needed with a bonus terrace looking out at the sea. Its about a 10 minute walk to downtown. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

A great old house with a ton of character and amazing views across the city. Right in town but felt secluded and private with plenty of off street parking.

Good clean room with comfy bed plus tv. The history of the hotel is what attracted me to stay.

Very comfortable bed with electric blanket if required. Very spacious, clean and comfortable

Short walk to the city centre, with nice spacious lounge and kitchen areas. Not crowded and very peaceful. Enjoyed my stay here

A grand old lady, but somewhat inpersonal staff never introduced themselves didn't know who was a guest and who was working. Gas hobs don't work, how hard is it to have a toaster that works.. will stay again if I can't get a better price elsewhere.

Couldn't believe the size of the room considering how much I paid. Very nice and tidy. Only complaint was it was a bit cold but the provided heater did the trick.

I wish I could comment on the service here but there actually wasn't any. None at all. Upon entering the lobby there is a sign pointing you through to the dentist at the back (yes, this is a hotel/dentist) where you have to interrupt a rather unhappy dentist mid-procedure who brusquely tells you that your room is upstairs and the key is in the door (there's no receptionist at the dentist's either) The rest is pretty much left up to you to find out on your own. There is also absolutely NO breakfast or coffee/tea laid out for guests in the mornings despite what the room information states and the free "high-speed" internet access is slower than a 90's dial-up connection. The pros are: the room is nicely decorated and the building itself is beautiful; sky tv; and the hot water for showers was fine. The cons: no service; the room wasn't cleaned the entire two days I was there and, strangely, there were long blonde hairs hanging off the bedside lampshade; no continental breakfast or coffee laid out in the morning and appallingly slow internet. I think the owner needs to decide if they are running a dentists surgery or a hotel and add some appropriate staff

Quiet relaxing stay in a beautiful historic house 10 minutes walk from the heart of Nelson. Stunning views over the city of Nelson and out into Tasman Bay

This is a nice place. The room was very comfortable and quiet. I slept really well. More attention could be given towards details concerning cleaning and maintenance. Service was adequate but don't expect the kind of attention you might get at other B&B's. The foreign university students running the place were very nice but the property could be managed better.

This is a historical building, located in the mid of the hill, with good views. Staff are very friendly and cheerful. Only 3 mins drive to the town. Need to share the bathroom with others, but it is ok as not many people during my stay. People like to share their stories with others too! This is a good experience that I have never tried before.

never saw anyone else during the stay, felt a bit cavernous. would have like a bit of interaction from the host. would be better for a couple or friends then solo traveler. bedding was amazing!

A very quaint place of great character. Guests were quietly going about their business.

Lovely place to stay, quality fittings and linen, lovely big room with stunning views. Shared bathroom and kitchen.

Beautifully restored historic villa with stunning design elements - wooden panelling, high ceilings, brocade wall coverings and spacious, gracious rooms. Quiet! Great views over Nelson and short walk to town centre.

great stay, nice room. good location

Fellworth was a real find. A delightful experience. Will certainly come again

Amazing view, we'll kept grounds, great location for those who like a walk.

Loved the atmosphere and the history! Agreat walk from the city centre too. Will only stay there if I'm in Nelson on my own!

Great homely feel.

It has large rooms and i it is very comfy. It also has a great view. The driveway is a bit tricky to find as it's about 50mtrs down from where you think it will be. Keep looking for it because it's worth it. I'll definitely stay again! Thanks

Fellworth house were very accommodating for me when I turned up late, the day after I made the actual booking for. They put me in their backup room for the price of the Butler's room. My only slight issue was that I prefer harder mattresses and this room had one of the softest during my stay in New Zealand.

The hotel is located on top of a hill with lovely views of Picton. It is a charming old mansion which has been renovated. There is a shared kitchen, eating areas and places to sit and enjoy the view. The bathrooms are nice. There is free wi-fi and access to a phone to make local calls for booking of taxis, tours, etc. There is a convenience store, pub and takeaway store which sells pizza, hamburgers and fish & chips which is 5 minutes walk away on Milton St north. It is about 10 minutes walk to Hardy Street (main restaurant/pub area). The hotel is also very close to a couple of good walks - Centre of NZ and Mattai Valley (along the the River). It is a 10 minute walk to the iSite along the river. Taxi fare from to/from the town centre off-peak is approx NZD 7.

Facilities: Outstanding; Value: Fantastic; Service: Flawless; Cleanliness: Beautiful; Bit eccentric and kooky. Very quiet. Loved it!

I think somone was working there, but they couldn't speak English, so wasn't sure

Great value just temember buy food to cook on or eat our

Facilities: Good; Value: Bargain, Amazing; Service: Inoffensive, See below.; Cleanliness: Spotless; Unusual not meeting the owners. Returning late there was no way to lock the hotels front door without the possibility of locking out another guest.

Nice large house set on a hill with individual rooms, comfortable stay overall. However, the signage for the hotel is not great and it's hard to find at night (have to follow the signs to dentist and go up the hill).

Service: Lacking; A wonderful antidote to sterile motels

I loved my stay at Fellworth. A beautifully restored house, quiet clean comfortable and a friendly kitten.

Facilities: Beautiful old charm; Service: Friendly, was rather quiet;

Everything was comfortable for the cost. Shower was useless and had hair in the trap!!! yucky

I have stayed in this place on 2 separate occasions. It has character, and it is very much within walking distance of Nelson's city centre. One does share beathrooms and a dining area, but it is very homey as well.

Facilities: Distinctive, Above average; Value: Amazing; Service: Friendly, Courteous; Cleanliness: Faultless;

excellent stay, very friendly welcome, generous supply of food, teas and filter coffee. Breakfast supplies similarly generous, and one guest was making pancakes for all. Views from room 2 were fabulous, overlooking the town and sea. One of the bathrooms could have been a touch cleaner, but hardly worth the quibble. The baths were spotless. Easy walking distance to the main town and restaurants.

Facilities: Distinctive; Value: Great deal, Great option on a budget ; Service: Sufficient, Not applicable; Highly recommend it as an xcellent alternative to a nasty motel or a noisy backpackers.

Great breakfast in the morning, room is not serviced during stay. No one at reception. Room was just ok... location is not walk able to anywhere

A very nice hotel. Not far from shops and restaurants. great staff.

I loved my stay in this lovely restored old home. It was great to interact with people from all over the world. I have already recommmended this place to friends.

Alex went out of her way to help us resolve a booking problem.

Walking distance to cbd.

It was great. Everything you need without having people around you. Could stay and use everything as you wanted.

I loved the informal, friendly, super quiet and peaceful house, the sense of its history and age, the beautiful and appropriate decor, the way it has been beautifully restored and maintained. The staff leave you alone, but are definitely there if you want anything or wish to chat. Shared kitchen made eating a 'family' event if you wanted that. Shared bathrooms were not a problem at all. Fabulous stay, just what the doctor ordered. Restorative. Yet in easy walking distance of the town's attractions.
