Nelson's Luxury Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
Wakefield Quay House is a heritage 1905 villa offering relaxed luxurious guest house accommodation. We are a seafront property overlooking Tasman Bay and the harbour entrance in New Zealand’s beautiful Nelson. This is the spot to kick off your shoes, socialise with interesting locals and guests and take a break.
Bed And Breakfast Harbour Views on the Nelson Waterfront
The Nelson Harbour is a hive of activity with big ships, tugs, yachts and fishing boats on the move, it is a busy and bustling place with incredible panoramic sea to mountain views – Haulashore Island, Boulder Bank with historic lighthouse, across Tasman Bay to the Abel Tasman National Park, and the superb sunsets!
Around sunset each evening join your relaxed host Woodi and friends on the deck for complimentary drinks. Chat about your trip plans and get the low-down on Nelson’s fun things to do. Leave the car at home, dinner is a very short stroll to the waterfront restaurants - Boat Shed, Harbour Light Bistro, Styx and Nahm. Or take a 25 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive, into Nelson City to our favourite restaurants Hopgoods & Co, Urban Oyster Bar & Eatery or Parts & Service.
