Located within 1.7 km of Tahunanui Beach and 2.9 km of Trafalgar Park in Nelson, Studio or Cabin on Whitby provides accommodation with free WiFi and seating area. Guests staying at this bed and breakfast have access to a balcony. Guests can access the bed and breakfast via private entrance. We absolutely loved everything about our stay at this unique cabin. Such a brilliant location with the most special view (even when we had a bit of rain on our final morning) and incredible surroundings. Photos really cannot do this place justice - it’s just beautiful and the little patio area is perfect for enjoying some outside time in this part of the world. This cabin offers a really unique and cosy stay, and we would definitely recommend. Having spent five weeks travelling around NZ and staying in many different types of accommodation, this was the standout! We could not have asked for better or more friendly hosts either - thank you so much David and Sandy, especially for all your tips while in the area!

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Tahunanui Beach, Beaches Nelson offers self-contained accommodation with a private balcony or patio. It features a barbecue area, free bicycle rental and free WiFi.

Beaches Nelson is 5 minutes’ drive from Nelson Golf Links, Nelson Airport and Central Nelson. The famous Christ Church Cathedral are each a 10-minute drive away. This is an ideal base for whn you are walking the iconic Abel Tasman track. Our stay at Beaches Nelson was just perfect. We wanted to relax after a long drive from Christchurch and this was just the place to do that. The beach and other convenient stores/restaurants within walking distance. The bed was soooo comfy and this was the best sleep I’ve had since been in New Zealand. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Spa bath was a real treat.
