We arrived to find a Canadian flag flying in our honour. We loved every minute of our stay with Margaret Fox at The Foxes B&B. Margaret has a wonderful talent as hostess and went out of her way to make our stay a truly special part of our trip to New Zealand. The nearby Abel Tasman National Park was spectacular... More

I couldn't agree more with the reviews given for this wonderful B&B. Margaret and Horton (her trusty schnauzer) were wonderful hosts. The surroundings and views are breathtaking and the breakfasts everything you could ask for and more (homemade honey made from the neighbors beehives)! Our rooms were lovely (we were traveling with another couple) including our fresh fruit, sherry and... More

What a wonderful surprise. When we decided to extend our stay in the Nelson area 'The Foxes' was recommended by local friends. And Margaret was good enough to take us as last minute guests. The Foxes is a luxury B&B set in beautiful gardens overlooking Ruby Bay. We were only able to stay two nights and, after long busy days... More

I wanted to treat myself and staying at The Foxes was exactly that. Margaret is such a warm and welcoming hostess. I woke after an extremely comfortable sleep to beautiful views including the extensive private grounds The Foxes is situated upon. A delicious breakfast followed by use of The Foxes beach bag (which was a welcomed suprise and much appreciated... More

My husband and I recently stumbled upon this gem of a bed and breakfast while traveling through New Zealand and were immediately in love! Margaret, our lovely host and her adorable miniature schnauzer, Horton, greeted us as we pulled up the quiet gravel road into this beautiful oasis overlooking Ruby Bay. The room was bright and beautiful with a little... More

My wife and I stayed in 7 different B&B's during our winter trip to New Zealand. We were amazed by them all, but The Foxes must have been the most luxurious. Everything was top-of-the line...room, bed, bath, gardens, view, breakfasts! Margaret and Horton were perfect hosts. Unfortunately, we were so busy with activities, we didn't get to spend as much...

The website says the hosts are unobtrusive. This is not true – the hosts (and Horton) were divine! Food was great, rooms as described and more. I would recommend taking breakfast on the balcony as the vista early morning is quite something to behold ………………… and the eggs!

A truly wonderful place to relax and soak up peaceful surroundings. The extensive gardens providing an ever changing vista through the seasons (yes we have visited more than once!) and the view over the bay is amazing. The rooms are beautifully appointed and private and the food certainly does not disappoint. We will return. Thank You.
