A Culinary Experience Luxury Bed & Breakfast Accommodation,
Nelson, New Zealand
Imagine your rejuvenating stay in a luxurious 4-star plus Qualmarked Bed and Breakfast in "Sunny Nelson Bays, the Heart (centre) of New Zealand". We welcome you to our lovely home filled with original art, laughter, great food, and our adorable puppy.
Arrive as guests but leave as treasured friends! Your caring hosts have created a truly unique boutique accommodation. Joe with a degree in naturopathic medicine specializes in therapeutic massage. Kay, cookbook author, former cooking school owner, and instructor can provide delightful dinners or cooking classes. Let us pamper you.
Awake to the sensory pleasure of freshly baked bread,
and sip a cappuccino while your breakfast is being prepared. Enjoy gourmet breakfasts with such treats as Blueberry Pancakes with glazed bananas, Omelettes with a wide selection of fillings, Eggs Nelson with smoked salmon and Hollandaise sauce, or perhaps French Crepes. We provide a selection of cereals, fresh fruit and homemade breads, muffins, and yogurt.
Indulge yourself with a leisurely soak in the spa followed by a therapeutic massage, after exploring the best of New Zealand's wineries, art studios, galleries, restaurants, museums, Nelson's famous Saturday Market, playing a round of golf, hiking, or kayaking at Abel Tasman National Park. Choose the quiet, sun-drenched garden or a peaceful patio, sipping a complimentary glass of wine served with yummy appetizers to celebrate the sensational sunsets, or the exquisite bay and mountain views. Read a book in the sculpture garden and quaff the aroma of fresh herbs, fruit, and organic produce that we grow for our legendary meals. Or, just relax with your friendly hosts and talk about boating, travelling, art, cooking, Rotary, Red Hats, and beautiful New Zealand.
Enjoy this luxurious, smoke-free accommodation with caring hosts. The "Chambre de Provence" and the "Tuscan Room" feature king-sized / super twin beds, fine imported linens, heated tile ensuites (bathrooms) and themed original art. We have a dedicated guest computer with broadband. You are welcome to use our laundry. A HDTV with surround sound DVD player is located in the guest lounge. We provide 24-hour tea making facilities and homemade pastries. Off street private parking exists, or courtesy transfers from the airport are available.

If you are staying in Nelson and looking for accomodation, or just travelling through the top of the South Island, from the Marlborough wine country, past Queen Charlotte Sounds, to Abel Tasman National Park, treat yourself to a Holiday from your vacation, by visiting A Culinary Experience Bed & Breakfast.
