Walking distance to central Nelson, a sun-drenched cottage with views to the sea

Set back from the road, this cosy, quiet, self contained cottage has views from its spacious deck all the way out to the sea. Make your morning coffee in the fully equipped kitchen with the sun coming through the window, then sip your wine as you catch the last of the day’s rays in the evening from the living area that flows out through the ranch slider onto the deck. Only 15-20 minutes walk through the camellia gardens past the calm of the Cathedral setting, makes getting to some of Nelson’s best restaurants and bars at the top of Trafalgar Street all part of an unforgettable Nelson getaway.
For walks with stunning views of Nelson out to the mountains, up to Farewell Spit and across to nearby Able Tasman National Park, Camellia cottage is nestled at the bottom of the Grampians which is covered in well marked walking tracks.
It is also conveniently positioned for an easy walk to the hospital, both colleges and through town to the courts for any working guests.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Fairfield Park. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful garden setting, great view over Nelson to the sea. Immaculately clean, everything is in great condition. Belinda was a wonderful host, happy to share her extensive local knowledge. Lots of nice touches in the cottage, including milk, tea, coffee, bottled water… and chocolates! Highly recommended.Note the property is on a hillside so be prepared for a cardio workout if walking to/from.

Beautiful location and very welcoming host! The place was very clean and the amenities were fantastic. Belinda was very thoughtful and brought over water for us when council had scheduled brief interruptions to the water supply. We loved our stay and when we come back to NZ we would absolutely book this place again!

An absolutely perfect cabin on a quiet street. Immaculate inside, we found everything we needed. Thoughtfully, tastfully decorated with acute attention to details. Comfy bed and nice hot shower. Loved the kitchen. Short walk into town or to hike Grampion. Belinda our host was friendly and present when we arrived and we quickly settled in. Would definitely stay again!

Super clean and super quiet. Well-equipped kitchen with everything needed, and more. Size is good for 2 people; roomy for 1. Would be suitable for a longer stay (I stayed 2 nights). Very comfortable bed. Nice linens. Good neighborhood ... and a 12 or 15 minute walk downhill to great restaurants and shops (pizza closer than that). Sunny. Nice view. Will stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. Stunning sunny spot, close to town and hill walks. We loved exploring the area on foot. The cottage has absolutely everything you need and is beautifully presented. Thank you Belinda and Mark, we’ll be back!
