Ah House City B&B Nelson

Tout

Rien

Centrally located but just tucked away enough from the main part of town. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and the room was very comfortable

We had a really wonderful stay at Ah House. Mark and John were the perfect hosts — welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to Trafalgar Street, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and lovely walks. The accommodation is cosy, stylish, private and thoughtfully put together, with great attention to detail throughout - they have thought of everything! We absolutely recommend Ah House to anyone visiting Nelson. Thank you, John and Mark - we will be back!

Mark and John offer the ideal B&B in the perfect location. Their Garden Room was indeed its own little bit of paradise situated amongst their pretty gardens. They have meticulously thought of every detail in what they provide in the room, how they’ve decorated and how they support their guests from a warm welcome to helping with local recommendations to insuring we had our own personal breakfast spread for our early departure. Our favorite stay so far during our month in NZ! If it’s available, don’t hesitate. Someone else may be the lucky one to grab it!

Hôte très sympathique. Très bel et agréable appartement.

Liebevoll eingerichtet. Es ist alles vorhanden. Schöne Terrasse und Garten. Beste persönliche Betreuung durch Mark und John. Auch beim Frühstück bleiben keine Wünsche offen! Gute Erreichbarkeit Downtown Nelson.

Alles bestens !

The hosts, Mark and John, were very friendly and had lots of helpful suggestions. The room and breakfast was terrific. It was a beautiful place to stay

We liked it all.

The location was great, the accommodations felt like home, and the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Would absolutely stay there again. Was a wonderful place to end my trip and relax before heading home.

Tout était parfait, de l'accueil incomparable au confort du logement décoré avec goût. Le petit déjeuner, cuisiné suivant notre choix est succulent. Nous avions mal au cœur de partir tant on s'y sentait bien. Un vrai B&B comme malheureusement il n'en existe plus beaucoup.

Mark und John waren hervorragende Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war wunderschön, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit sehr vielen liebevollen Details. Unser Zimmer hat quasi über Nacht Weihnachtsschmuck bekommen😅. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, Mark hatte auch gute Tipps für uns und wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Sehr gefreut haben haben wir uns auch über das kühle Bier zur Begrüßung- erst mal relaxen haben die beiden gesagt … das ist Urlaub ☺️100% Weiterempfehlung!

The B&B is very cosy and warm. Hosts are friendly, helpful and personable.

Nothing!

Von Ah-Zz... alles 😄. Diese Unterkunft bleibt uns in bester Erinnerung. Mit Humor, tollen Kochkünsten & ihrer authentischen, freundlichen Art haben John, Mark .... & Lady Blue 🦮 unsere Herzen erobert. Danke, danke, danke - und...man sieht sich immer zweimal im Leben.

Comfortable, clean, quiet garden suite. John and Mark were excellent hosts and breakfast was delicious. A short walk into town for bars and restaurants

Nothing

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Marc und John empfangen und uns wurde alles nötige erklärt und Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants gab es auch. Wir hatten die Garden Rooms. Ein separates Haus als Schlafzimmer und eins als Wohnzimmer. Leider waren wir nur kurz dort und konnten das gar nicht voll ausnutzen. Der Garten ist traumhaft schön. Morgens gab es ein leckeres gekochtes Frühstück. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral und trotzdem sehr ruhig. In wenigen Minuten ist man zu Fuß im Ort, wo es viele gute Restaurants gibt. Die einen Ausflug in den Abel Tasman Nationalpark der perfekte Ausgangspunkt. Wir haben uns sehr voll und willkommen gefühlt.

Alles perfekt.

Ah House was a feast for the eyes! Every detail was thoughtful and beautiful! We loved our stay and would be back in a heartbeat!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Mark and John are the loveliest couple and have really nailed the BnB experience. We loved the tasteful and beautifully appointed spacious room. The salubrious and plentiful breakfast provided each morning. The quirky garden but most of all we enjoyed the company of Mark and John who are friendly, hilarious and make you feel so welcome. Mark is an artist and sells his ceramic works from his home studio...it is fabulous and we loved that his delightful work was featured throughout the property. Mark and John are also very knowledgeable about the best spots to see around town and further afield. Do not hesitate...book a room you will be super impressed...this is The G.O.A.T ( Greatest of all Time) of any accommodation we have ever stayed at both internationally or back at home in Australia.These guys deserve every accolade and award...100/100!!!

Absolutely nothing at all...this beautiful BnB is absolutely flawless.

central location - cooked breakfast - scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomato - proprietors made me feel welcome

wooden stairs leading to cottage - had to hold onto the side rail to prevent slipping

The location just outside the city centre was quiet but 10 minutes walk took us into the centre city. The hosts were excellent. Friendly, yet efficient, attentive yet not intrusive. We’ve stayed there before and we’ll stay there again.

A little Gem, very welcoming and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable I’d highly recommend

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The hosts were wonderful. Their home is close to downtown Nelson so it was and easy walk. Breakfast was great and they made whatever you wanted. They were also very fun to chat with. Highly recommend.

We loved everything about Ah House, the location, the accommodation and more importantly, the hosts. The location was ideal, we could walk to the main city centre, gardens etc.

Mark and John are amazing hosts making you feel like you’re staying with friends. The room is well appointed and lovely, the patio beautiful & the breakfast is delicious. They love what they do & it shows. Our stay was exceptional, a highlight in a country full of memorable experiences.

Wow what a beautiful stay for us. The cottage was amazing, full of unique treasures, Mark & John the perfect hosts. I say this was the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. 🙂

Perfect in every way! Location, breakfast, Mark and John, comfort, everything excellent!

Nothing

Very warm welcome by Mark and John, very considerate, kind and helpful in every way. Lots of helpful suggestions for restaurants and for onward travel. Lovely garden, we really enjoyed a garden with John. Accommodation very comfortable, very attractive, great beds and good towels/ bed linen ( these things matter.) Superb cooked breakfast, Mark and John are very interesting and have a beautiful house. We enjoyed every moment, from arriving to leaving.

Everything was superb.

Mark and John were exceptional hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were excellent. The rooms and grounds delightful.

Breakfast was very tasty. Location was ideal - situated in a quiet neighbourhood with short walk to restaurants and pedestrian street with lovely stores. The hosts are very attentive - they have thought of everything.

The accommodation was full of surprises. For us as a couple, it was a place where we could taste a slice of heaven. Mark was incredibly kind and helpful. Don’t forget to try the wine as well! Mark, visit to KOREA~!!!:)

This was my second time staying at Ah House and I was expecting first class accommodation, which was great! I now have stayed in both the apartment and the garden rooms. Delightful!!

The hosts have thought of every detail. It is difficult for any host to maintain a 9.9 rating and they are 10 in my opinion!

No complaints

Everything is perfect!

The decor, the host, the location

The hosts are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They kept checking whether there was anything we needed in our room. We especially liked the fact that we could sit in the garden outside our room after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are beautifully decorated. We would happily return to this accommodation in the future.

The only issue I had being a person with disabilities, is that could have done with having a hand rail to step on to the steps to the garden room.

Home from home, fabulous greeting, nothing was to much trouble. Good local advice places to eat and places to visit..

Mark & John are fabulous hosts, they made us feel so welcome. The accommodation is wonderful, and has been thoughtfully decorated. Cooked breakfast every morning, assistance with planning to make the most of our time, amazing gardens. We would stay here again next time we are in Nelson.

Beautiful well-appointed spaces with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Amazing hosts - welcoming, thoughtful, excellent local knowledge and genuinely nice guys. Breakfasts were delish & it was nice to chat to other guests over a morning coffee. Thanks again for your hospitality x

I cant say enough good things about Ah house. Mark and John are the best. They provide everything you need and make you feel at home. The breakfast they provide is great, the room is comfortable, shower is nice and big, everything is clean and well kept, their yard/garden is beautiful, and restaurants and shops are walking distance. If I were to return to Nelson in the future, I would absolutely stay here again.

The garden rooms were amazing. Breakfasts were first rate. Our hosts couldn't do enough for us. Beautiful house and garden, and we were made to feel very welcome. Well exceeded expectations, would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Nothing.

Everything was just lovely, we could feel ourselves relaxing the moment we arrived and Mark and John were so welcoming and helpful

Nothing

We only spent one night in Nelson but we left wanting to stay longer. Mark and John are terrific hosts and make you feel so welcome, the house and gardens are fantastic both \have some amazing things to discover. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to visit Nelson.

This is the most lovely accommodation with super-friedly hosts, making you feel really at home. Within walking distance to city center. Super-service orientated hosts organize anything you need to make you feel comfortable.

There is nothing we can think of. Please be aware that the garden apartment has a camping-toilet as pointed out in the room description.

John and Mark - just the perfect crew to run such a lovely place. Very nice furniture, antiques and PILLOWS all over - but very tasteful.

Clean. Friendly. Comfortable.

Mark and John are amazing hosts. Location to the city is great.

Fantastic accommodation, in a great location 5 minutes from Nelson CBD and exceptional hosts

Very friendly hosts

Mark and John were exceptionally hosts providing a real home away from home. They provided advice and services that made our stay very memorable and in a perfect location for visiting Nelson.

Great location Friendly helpful hosts

Great hosting ,beautiful breakfast, awesome accommodation .We will come again 10/10.

Mark and Jon were the most hospitable hosts and made us feel right at home! The garden apartment was clean and comfortable, with all instructions and information provided. It is also very conveniently located within walking distance to the town area where shops and restaurants are located. Parking is free and breakfast was provided (it was lovely!). We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting nelson.

Breakfast was absolutely amazing. Every aspect of our stay was exceptional.

Nothing

Delicious breakfast and very friendly, helpful hosts! Thank you Mark and John for a great, all be it short, stay.

Nothing

Beautiful, peaceful surroundings so close to town center, which you can walk to through the Cathedral gardens. So much time and effort put into the gardens at Ah House, a positive delight to look around, such an oasis to come back to after working all day.

All pretty stella

Close to beautiful town and lovely deck and hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mark & John's Garden Rooms - a beautiful location, in an interesting garden, within easy walking distance of Nelson itself. Our hosts have thought of everything and nothing is too much trouble for them. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower powerful, breakfast iss plentiful and tasty and we highly recommend Ah House as a delightful to spend your vacation.

The location, the property and hosts.

Liked it all.

Superb hosts. Beautiful decor. Fabulous breakfasts and breakfast setting. 2 mins walk to town

It was amazing! I felt very spoilt.

The hosts, Mark and John, are the best! Warm, friendly, thinking of every detail to make it a restful yet interesting place to stay in Nelson. Location is great! I would highly recommend a stop here in Nelson on the way somewhere else, or as a destination itself

Nothing

Excellent hosts. Exceptional breakfast

None

This property is exquisite! The room was beautifully appointed, with many little extra touches. Breakfast was delicious and our hosts were incredibly hospitable - our stay was like home away from home.

The room was very good, the breakfast was first class The owners greate

Beautifully presented, welcoming, relaxing. Close to town. Hosts wonderful. Loved it. Will definitely return.

I loved everything about the property

Our hosts couldn't have done more - lovely and fully equipped rooms, fantastic breakfast and excellent travel tips. Also great location, easy parking and a stone's throw from everything Nelson has to offer. Loved it!

Not being able to stay longer

Amazing hosts and a wonderful b&b! I can’t wait to visit again!

The hosts were so welcoming and engaging. They were genuinely interested in us and our visit. We loved the environment - everything was colourful and interesting. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Heather & Sally

Cannot say enough nice things about our stay here. So much thought put into making the accommodation comfortable and inviting, a great hot breakfast every morning and such interesting and accommodating hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, they thoroughly deserve all the awards they have won.

Our visit was too short.

What a super place to stay - lovely large apartment with everything you might need or want and some. A fabulous garden with loads of things to see & experience with options of places to relax. We had a yummy cooked breakfast to start our day. Mark, John & Bella top it off perfectly - fabulous hosts very welcoming, friendly & informative who very much respect your privacy. Ah house is situated in Central Nelson with private parking. Restaurants, cafes, shops & Cathedral only couple hundred metres away. I think next time I would like to try a garden room, I imagine it to be kind of like glamping. I really do hope it is not too long before we go there again.

Stunning property. The rooms are comfortable, warm and have everything you need to relax.

Mark and John’s delightful and welcoming B&B has won awards, and no wonder. It is close to perfection, and great value. The house is on a quiet street, with free parking outside, and just a five-minute walk along a leafy path to the main restaurant area of Nelson, and the shops beyond. We had the garden rooms, two adjacent, cosy and well-insulated cabins on a wooden terrace. One comprises the bedroom and bathroom, the other a lounge with microwave, coffee etc. Both have TVs. Provision of extras is outstanding, as if the hosts have envisaged every guest need. We found plug adapters, a torch, umbrellas, hats, books, CDs, scissors and maps. For anything not there, just ask. The quirky garden is lovely, filled with plants, pots, lights and ceramics. The main house full of character and charm. The cooked breakfast was good, eggs, bacon and tomatoes, plus toast, fruit and cereal (muesli would be welcome as standard). There are plenty of information leaflets, and Mark is a friendly but not intrusive host, able to give good advice about local restaurants and places to visit.

The only slight deficiency is that the bathroom is small, with an OK shower, tiny basin and cartridge toilet - the type one finds in a mobile home, emptied daily by our hosts. But we got used to this.

Mark and John are the ultimate hosts who cannot do enough for you to make your stay memorable and comfortable. A breakfast is served that is tailored to the guest requests.

Nothing. The room we use has a chemical toilet, which was fully expected and disclosed throughout the booking process and is cleaned daily.

Great location for walking into town for dinner. Friendly and helpful hosts. Clean, quiet and comfortable Wish we could stay longer

An astonishingly well appointed and comfortable place to relax. We stayed in the garden rooms, and were delighted with the two spaces---one to sleep, and one to lounge, as well as a choice of tables & chairs in the garden for enjoying a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to downtown Nelson with lots of restaurant and shopping options. Mark and John were just wonderful, accommodating yet unobtrusive. Breakfast was amazing.

We were delighted, so nothing.

really special private garden with excellent city center location

The property has flare and uniquely decorated. Everywhere you turned, there was something new to discover. The room was spacious and comfortable! Breakfast was fantastic. Mark prepared anything we wanted. Our hosts, Mark and John, were delightful to talk with and provided helpful information which improved our travel plans.

Nothing needed improvement. Wish we could have stayed longer!

If you travel to Nelson, this is THE place. Lovely decorated, super friendly hosts. Excellent breakfast ! I will go back for sure and show friends.

Nothing to mention here..

the owners hospitality was great, very nice and warm place, great breakfast, everything is different special from all other places we visited.

the hospitality and the location

Very friendly & helpful hosts; close to the centre; very comfortable rooms; unique quality surroundings (ie books. paintings, garden, ornaments, decor). Would definitely recommend !! And yes we'd return.

Nothing, and that's our frank opinion.

Just an extremely good place to stay.

Nothing

A beautiful, plush apartment. Mark, John and Bella make you feel at home with their friendliness and humour. A lovely, yummy breakfast is presented in the morning (their berry jam was berry good, made with fruits from their garden). The location is perfect being near the centre of Nelson. The garden apartment was spacious, warm and spotlessly clean and well equipped. The super king bed was exceptionally comfortable. All round a wonderful stay and definitely a place to stay again.

This is only a tinsy wee niggle, but maybe offer a later breakfast time to 9am for us late risers!

Hosts were amazing, the location was walkable to the city, the room was private and well thought out with amenities. The breakfast was home cooked and delicious!

The shower runs on gas so we had a cold shower until we realized it needed to be changed, no big deal but just an FYI for future travelers

Really comfortable and a genuine English B&B. Great hosts. So close to the centre of Nelson

great location, fab hosts, super clean and great breakfast

nothing

Everything was so perfect. The room was delightful elegant and quirky put super comfortable. John was so helful. The breakfast was delicious. I was very impressed Altogether.
