  • A lovely wee house, beautiful view, easy living. But you would wake up with the sun in summer with no curtains upstairs.... We loved staying at the Captains quarters! 5

  • The location is absolutely prime for a stay on the south upper island of NZ. Nelson is a delightful town, stay local on Saturday morning so that you can visit the Nelson market, the vendors were friendly and engaging with many fine booths of food and wonderful NZ items. Traveled to Abel Tasman one day and Picton the next. My only regret was visiting the WOW Museum, quite overpriced and disappointing. 5

  • Thanks for your comments Dawn. There is so such you can do in Nelson within an hour or so .... Abel Tasman, Picton, Nelson Lakes and more. We all love the market ... and sorry WOW didn't meet your expectations. We will pass your comments re price on to the management.

  • We stayed here with our 2 young children and it was fantastic. There are fantastic views from the living area. Everything is well appointed and lovely and clean. Full kitchen makes it great if you are wanting to cook your own meals. Close to town. Only advice for those with younger children is to take something to cover the windows. The blinds are quite thin which made it hard for children waking early in the morning. 4

  • The owners Ralph and Sally, plus their lovely Labrador Floyd, couldn't be nicer and accommodating. We stayed in the Crow's Nest for eight nights while attending amfriend's wedding and it suited our family of four perfectly. The views are amazing and we loved eating out on the deck. Another great plus about this place is that it is high enough up the hill to avoid the constant traffic noise that you get further down. Would love to say here again! 5
