I had a great stay at Amber House while in Nelson. I must say the owners are a lovely couple, and besides a very comfortable house, all the suggestions I got about the town, including treks, where to eat and have a drink were spot on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amber House as a place to stay while in Nelson, it was truly a great experience and I got the best night's sleep ever!

For what I paid for my stay, Amber House felt luxurious. It was tasteful, clean and quiet and I got a lot of helpful hints and ideas about what to do in Nelson. The owners were welcoming and friendly. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Nelson, especially as the centre of town was within walking distance.

Fantastic experience, we wish that we would have spent more time. Rating 5 out of 5
Cleanest and the best BnB that we have ever been to. The quality of service was well beyond our expectations. Would recommend to family and friends. Convenient location with secure parking. Breakfast was excellent, could not expect anything better. Trevor J (Canberra, Australia)

Ueber Silvester waren wir in Nelson, wo wir einen sehr komfortablen Aufenthalt im Amber House genossen haben. Die Zimmer sind aeusserst sauber und das reichhaltige fruehstueck war richtig lecker. Ich wuerde jedem das Amber House weiterempfehlen!
We celebrated New Years Eve in Nelson and had a very comfortable stay at the Amber House. The rooms are absolutely clean and the various breakfast was delicious. I would recommend anyone to stay at the Amber House!

My wife, son and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Amber House during January 2011. Before we even arrived,our hosts, forwarded us travel advice on the sights to see on our road trip to Nelson. Our arrival was most welcoming and our accommodation very comfortable. G arranged to have our washing done, and offered informative advice on the local sights and restaurants. Only a short walk to the centre of town, Amber House is the ideal place to stay for anyone visting Nelson. With lovely rooms, reasonable rates and perfect hosts I would recommend a stay at Amber House to anyone travelling NZ.

We stayed in the blue room for one night to round off a ten day holiday in the nelson area: great room, beautiful house and lovely welcome without it being overbearing. The cooked breakfast was scrummy although we had to forego the soda bread, so not really an ulster fry anymore. Delicious nonetheless. Ideally situated in Nelson, with an easy walk to the town centre but not too close to be noisy. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it wholeheartedly.

I had to spend a night in Nelson unexpectedly due to flooding in Golden Bay. The Amber B&B made the experience very pleasant. The room was lovely and spacious, my hosts were helpful and courteous, and I had an excellent night's sleep and breakfast in the morning. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends. Thanks!

Hello; I am a french cyclist and I was at Amber house on january 2010; what I liked here ? The welcome, of course ! The owner was very friendly, and I had a good feeling in this house. Even, if it was rainy, it's a good memory. Good bye and maraming salamat...

What a fantastic find! Amber House is friendly, spacious and unpretentious. Location is very good (10mins walk to Founders, 15 mins to Town Centre) and a bus stop right outside. were very kind and helpful and their B&B is value for money. I look forward to returning for the Rugby in Nelson.

Great breakfast and you were very helpful and kind - but you really should get rid of those spooky Victorian dolls in the dining room! It felt like I was being watched all the time I was having breakfast! Best value I've had on this trip, eh!

We arrived at Amber House with tons of dirty clothes due to a hard time on a volcano mountain. In less time that it takes to say it, our clothes were refreshed and we could at last wear clean clothes. We had delicious and original breakfasts, and good advices to visit the area. Our pleasant stay in Nelson was mainly related to our hosts' attention. Thank you, friends, for the nice memory we keep from there, and sorry for writing so late: it was a year ago. As you can see, we have never forgotten you.

Op weg van Kaikoura naar Abel Tasman zochten we een plaats om te overnachten. We zijn uiteindelijk in Amber House beland en vinden het nu (na het prima ontbijtje) best jammer dat we niet meer tijd hebben om langer in Nelson te blijven. We hadden graag vanuit deze stek de omgeving verder verkend. De kamer, het sanitair, de ligging en de gastvrijheid zijn prima en maken een verblijf zeker aan te raden!

We are from Vancouver, B.C. and have stayed at Amber House for the last 4 days. We slept very well as the bed was very comfortable and the room was air conditioned. The breakfasts were superb with a good menu. The host and hostess are very pleasant people and informative regarding what to do around Nelson. We have no reservations about recommending Amber House to fellow travellers.

I just wanted to tell you thanks for the hospitality. Amber House was quiet and relaxing, just what we needed after a day of kayaking. We had a wonderful time in New Zealand, in part thanks to you. We wish you best in the new year. Thanks.

A jolly time all in all. Enormous delicious breakfasts which I didn't have as I can't eat much in the mornings...but if you can you won't need much more to eat all day. The family make for a friendly atmosphere and this splendid establishment is a home away from home. I would always stay here on any future occasions in Nelson..itself a splendid city..just the right size a city should be. A beautiful place with a stunning hinterland.
Cheers, Malcolm Chalmers (Sydney/Brisbane, Australia)

I had a lovely stay at Amber House - in the Rose room - while attending a course in Nelson. (Everyone including the children) were all welcoming and efficient! I especially enjoyed the lovely strawberry pancakes - thanks Mila!! I will definitely stay again when I am in Nelson next year.

Thank you for looking after my mother when she came to visit Nelson. Her weekend there was made all the more special by the kind, caring and generous attention she got at Amber House. She didn't stop talking about her stay. Everything was perfect, the rooms, the food and the fantastic and friendly hospitality. Thanks again. She will definitley stay at Amber House next time she visits Nelson.

Thanks very much for a lovely stay! I think next time, we'll stay in Nelson more than a day so we can see more of it. You were great about accommodating our crazy "be on the road by 6am" schedule to Tasman Bay. The sandwiches you made for our road trip were perfect! Thanks again for everything!

Thanks for a wonerful stay! We really appreciated being able to leve our bikes in the garage - after 2000kms you get kind of attached to them - not that Nelson seems to be exactgly crime ridden anyway, but you know what it's getting like in Toronto these days! Mind you, I still don't think we're as paranoid as our neighbours to the south (wink). We'll try and send you some pictures of our hosue when we get home - you'll see how strange we found it staying ain a a reveresed miror image 20,000kms away. All our love -
