Avery exceptional place and decorated with so much beautiful pottery and plants everywhere you look. But most of all, it’s the wonderful hospitality and great breakfast of Mark and John . Amazing fresh bread every day by John and incredible granola by Mark with lots of choice and fresh fruit. We highly recommend this place and I can see everyone else does too. That’s why we stayed here and we’re very happy. Thanks so much to both of you, Peter and Caroline.

We loved it here! The room is so beautiful, the breakfast room stunning, the outlook on to the garden lovely and Mark and John couldn’t be better hosts. If we come back to Nelson we wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else!

Superb hospitality. Mark and John are great hosts. A beautiful place to stay within in walking distance to the town centre. Everything was immaculate, a comfortable bed and a good hearty breakfast. Will definitely stay at Ah House again next time we are in Nelson.

What an absolutely wonderful guest house. Our garden apartment was spotlessly clean and full of character. AH HOUSE is a happy place and it makes you smile, much better then cold characterless hotels rooms. Superb breakfast, cooked to order. Mark and John are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. However, the real star of the show was BELLA the dog. Only joking guys. Thank you, we will return. M & J.

Excellent hosts, cosy and spacious room, best breakfast I ever had in other B&B and 4-5 star hotel chains around the world. John and Mark hand made most of food with fantastic diningware. Enjoy the house decorations and beautiful garden. Thanks Mark and John, you have done the great job with enthusiasm.

Charming, relaxed, clean, well-decorated, and comfortable accommodations with a five-star breakfast served on china in a restored Victoria-style dining room. Owners are casual, friendly, efficient, and extremely helpful in providing area information and recommendations. There’s an air of sophistication at Ah House, but the ambience is totally relaxed - we could have stayed longer except for our schedule. Will go back when we visit the South Island again!

We had a wonderful stay with Mark and John. They are gracious hosts and we truly enjoyed sharing their charming place in such a nice spot in Nelson. Breakfast was delightful with elegant service and delicious options. The best part was feeling as if we were catching up with old friends as we chatted. They gave great recommendations on places to stop by in Nelson as well as on our travels beyond. Even got their secret muesli recipe! Thanks again Mark on John for a perfect visit!
