My wife and I recently visited New Zealand and stayed in various Bed and Breakfasts on the South Island and this was our favorite. The friendliness of the hosts, the amazing fresh fruit included in the breakfast, the conveniently close location to downtown Nelson, the excellent condition of the rooms...everything was exactly as we were hoping. Highly recommended! More

This was a very warm and friendly place to stay in Nelson. To echo all the other reviews, the Canadian/New Zealand couple Janet and Tim are the friendliest hosts and take particular pride in Janet's delicious breakfasts which are indeed impressive and delicious. They were very helpful during our stay with good recommendations for the local sights and restaurants, including... More

Janet and Tim are great hosts and cook a fantastic breakfast. If it wasn't for them we would'nt have gone to the World of Wearable Arts which is one of the funkiest museums I have ever visited. The Baywick Inn is in a great central location and has comfy beds and great books to read. Highly recommended. More

We had a wonderful stay at Baywick Inn, Nelson. This historic home is in a great location, a very easy 10 minute walk to central Nelson.

I stayed here for two nights in October either side of a trip to the Abel Tasman. Fantastic b and b. Really friendly and helpful hosts. Great breakfast. Definitely recommend. More

I am a little slow at getting round to writing this review but here it is finally. We were two couples doing a motorcycling trip of the South Island and stayed two nights at this lovely B&B. I researched all our overnight stays very thoroughly and picked the Baywick for Nelson. It was one of our favourite stops on the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Baywick Inn in March, for 3 nights, as part of a driving tour of the South Island. We fell in love with Nelson and are determined to come back in the future. It is a delightful city with gorgeous old houses and lovely scenery. Unfortunately we did not make a trip to the... More
