Large, comfortable well-appointed rooms in the old-fashioned bed-and-breakfast style. Excellent breakfasts. Hosts were gracious. Walkable to downtown Nelson as well as the hiking trails in the hills behind town.

Cambria House was a lovely home -away -from -home for us while visiting Nelson. The owners, Karel and David made us feel welcome. The common rooms are filled with personal photos and antiques and include a snack and beverage area that is set up for their guests use. Our bedroom was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. They cheerfully got up extra early to provide us with breakfast before our kayak trip, and offer several services/amenities to facilitate travel. We took advantage of the same day laundry service that they use, which was reasonably priced and a great help. Cambria House is located in a lovely, quiet street that is a few block walk to downtown Nelson. Nelson itself is a fun destination with lots of shops and restaurants to please every palate. I would recommend Cambria House to any friends and family that would be visiting Nelson.…

We loved our stay in Cambria house. Great location, on a nice quiet road with very easy walk into the main centre. And also close to the lovely river walk and Centre of NZ walk. David and Karel were very welcoming and lovely breakfast was provided. Good room, with a very comfortable bed, best nights sleep whilst in NZ so far! So many good restaurants, our best dinner in NZ so far was in this area.

Carol and David were very good hosts, and we really enjoyed our stay at the Cambria House. It was an older charming home, but the room was fairly basic. I did find our bathroom to be very spacious and nice though. Breakfast was always yummy, and the hosts had a great deal of knowledge and recommendations for our stay there. The location was not within walking distance of the downtown area, so we did drive everywhere we went.

Had a great room in this warm and friendly inn. Comfortable bed and bath. Yummy chocolates in the room as well as tea. Located a five minute walk from Nelson which was nice. Easy area to walk around in-no need to get back in your car when you are at this quaint inn.

Not the grade of accommodation we were expecting. The place is clean enough, but the room is small and basic, with few extra amenities. It isn't particularly close to town, so that means a drive to get something to eat. I felt the hosts were a bit out of their depth.

This is a fantastic bed and breakfast in Nelson New Zealand. It is run by David and Karel (Carol) who are 2 really nice people with extensive knowledge and advice of the region. The rooms are extremely comfortable and are fully equipped with even little luxuries like chocolates and a schooner of Port. Both topped up each day or the Port when empty. Breakfast is communal but this adds to the ambiance of the house. We are glad the our travel agent found this little gem for us. It is only a ten minute walk into the centre but there is a wonderful bar nearby called the Sprig and Fern on Milton Street. Thank you David and Karel for you hospitality. Robert and Elizabeth
