Ah House City B&B Nelson

My husband and I have had the most wonderful stay at this gorgeous B&B. We had two separate stays, as we hopped up to Abel Tasman National Park in between stays. We can't praise Mark and John, our hosts, at Ah B&B highly enough. It is absolutely perfect! We stayed in the Garden Apartment which was everything you could wish for in terms of comfort, sleep quality, space, cleanliness (absolutely spotless), facilities etc...and it opens up onto the most charming garden with private seating and a level of peace that we wished we could bottle and take with us! The garden and accommodation are beautifully decorated reflecting the fun, creativity and warmth of our hosts. It's a place where you feel transported to a perfect bliss. Truly. There are so many thoughtful touches which just convey the high level of care that Mark and John put into ensuring the best experience for their guests. From arrival to departure we felt like we'd been wrapped in a huge warm blanket. Our stay was punctuated by birdsong, gentle church bells and happy laughter (Mark laughs more than anyone you'll meet and it makes your heart light). We left feeling happy, rejuvenated and thankful. After 4 weeks of travel, we can honestly say that Mark and John are amazing, and Ah B&B is an exceptional place to stay.

Ah House is a gem! We stayed for two nights in the delightful Garden Rooms. We loved that it was a little bit quirky, the bedroom and sitting room seperated by a private deck. Beautifully appointed and comfortable with a perfect location for a short walk into town. Breakfast was great, basically whatever you want cooked to perfection and served either in your room or in the hosts dining room. The whole experience was made outstanding by Mark and Johns hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble and although we were only there for a short time we were made to feel comfortable and welcomed. They deserve all the awards they have won and we have no hesitation in recommending Ah House as THE place to stay in Nelson.

Home from home. John and Mark are so welcoming. Had the garden room which was everything you would want and more. Beers and juices in the fridge on arrival..lovely touch. Recommended restaurant we had already booked...6 plates in town again would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic B&B really attentive hosts and brilliant apartment, we stayed in the Garden Apartment and wanted for nothing. Great breakfast all cooked by Mark, with a good selections of goodies to temp you. The house is very close to the city centre with only a few minutes walk, you will find some great restaurants. There was a large selection of leaflets on the local area, but the hosts were a wealth of knowledge and their recommendation on places to eat or visit never failed us. We look forward to visiting again the next time we are in NZ.

These two gentlemen (Mark & John) have created a B & B that “hits on all cylinders”. Their place has a funky cool. They are incredibly helpful with tips and ideas. Breakfast is excellent in a classy dining room. The best restaurants and town shopping is just a stroll away. We booked next year, as well! You won’t be disappointed!

Mark and John are fabulous hosts. We were welcomed on arrival and shown our beautiful room which also had a kitchenette. The room, bathroom and kitchenette were spotless with a super comfy bed. There were plenty of information for the local area waiting for us on the table in the room and Mark was a font of all knowledge. Mark cooked a marvelous breakfast to order with homemade bread. Our only regret was we were only staying one night we could very easily have stayed a few more and explored the area.
