Robyn and Kees are great hosts and did everything they could to make my 2 night stay as enjoyable as possible. Kees picked me up from the airport in the evening after my flights had been delayed and then cooked me supper as I'd not been able to get anything to eat for dinner. After a great cooked breakfast in... More

If you happen to be in Nelson I wouldn't pass this place up. It's beautifully presented but not to the degree where you're frightened to touch anything. Our room was very comfortable and the biggest bathroom ever. There is a communal loungeroom with tea and coffee making facilities, tv etc. Also the free wifi was very efficient. Breakfast was served... More

We spent 4 delightful nights at Ambleside and were thoroughly spoiled by Robyn and Kees. Nothing was too much trouble and every comfort was thought of in advance. Everything you've read in the other reviews is true, including the hospitality, delicious breakfasts and baked goodies, and just the relaxed ambience of the place. Robyn spent time helping us choose local... More

The breakfasts are... More

Robyn and Kees provide a beautiful and immaculate B&B. We really appreciated their warm and friendly hospitality not to mention the home baked afternoon teas and pre dinner drinks. Breakfasts were wonderful too. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a lovely quiet spot to stay close to some great restaurants on the water, the airport and the fantastic WOW... More

One could not ask for a nicer B & B than this one at Ambleside. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed we were made to feel very special guests. Both Robyn and Kees go "above and beyond the call of duty" to ensure that each and every person is attended to and their needs met. Breakfast... More
