We stayed at Shelbourne Villa for only 1 night this past December - and the lesson we learned is we definitely need more than 1 night in Nelson. We stayed at the large master bedroom right at the entrance of the house, and it was very beautiful with a large ensuite bathroom and wooden floors. The hosts were very welcoming... More

A beautiful B&B in a charming town with very welcoming hosts. We stayed in the upstairs loft room, which is the size of a 1-bedroom apartment. It is beautifully designed and decorated. The bed is a super-king, perfect for a tall guy like me (195cm, 6'5"). The only minor difficulty is that I had to watch my head going up... More

Would highly recommend Shelbourne. Convenient location close to restaurants, and central Nelson, yet very quiet location. Great views from our room which had every convenience and some lovely touches - the original art works and sculptures added a very "Nelsonesque" touch. Breakfast was fantastic and we didn't need to eat another thing until evening [except of course for some fabulous... More

We did not know what to expect. This was a very nice surprise - a charming house (and equally charming hosts), located close to restaurants and shops. We were very well taken care of and the home made breakfast was excellent. If we come back to Nelson, we know where we want to stay More

It is the quintessential upscale and charming B&B. Instead of the ubiquitous full English breakfast, we were served delicious waffles with berries, a welcomed change. The hosts are very gracious and suggested... More

I love Nelson and have visited several times but only recently discovered the Shelbourne. I wish I had found it before. It is a wonderful B&B and the reviews here say it all. The house is lovely and the rooms beautifully equipped. I stayed in the loft which was amazing. Wayne and Val are the perfect hosts. Breakfast was lovely... More

We only stayed one night, due to our travel plans during the Rugby World Cup, but we wish we would have spent a couple more days. We stayed in the loft and it was fantastic. Wayne & Val were excellent hosts and the cooked us a fabulous breakfast. My wife and I both highly recommend Shelbourne Villa. More

Great B&B great people. Very close to city for shopping and evening dining. Highly recommend Shelbourne Villa More

Wonderful B&B very close to the city center. The villa is a big house with nice white and azure colors. The room is very big and well-furnished, moreover there is a safe box (very rare for a B&B) and free wireless directly in your room. The breakfast is very good and every morning Wayne and Val will cook something special... More
