Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

The Wheelhouse Inn features five self-contained houses and apartments with spectacular sea views, from Nelson's Port Hills to the lovely Tasman Bay. A 5-minute drive from Tahunanui Beach, it offers free WiFi access, free on-site parking and barbecue facilities.

The views were spectacular and the Lookout was cosy and yet spacious. We had everything we could possibly want to hand and absolutely loved hanging out on the deck or the living room soaking up the view.

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    Room was spacious for 2 people and well maintained. Very clean room and towels. Instructions inside the room and for check-in were clear and helpful. Parking was convenient and right outside the room. The host very sweetly left the heater on so that the room was cosy when we checked-in late at night. They also left a small bottle of milk which came in handy. Beach towels were a plus.

    Very friendly staff and nice location. The benefit of the pub downstairs is that you down have a go somewhere else for a delicious guinness and something to eat, the downside is that it's a bit noisy at night when people are still having a drink outside. But they made sure people are more quiet after a certain time. Bed is a bit narrow, but comfy. Room was very clean Would definitely come back!

    I loved it that my room was quiet ( not much hostel noise) and the bed was comfortable and set on the opposite side of the room from the door. The hostel was very organised - with great facilities in the bathrooms and kitchens, and labels in the kitchen so that you could label your food when you put it in the fridge. The staff were lovely and friendly, and very helpful. Facilities and my room seemed very clean. The location was brilliant.
