'A little bit of luxury, a lot of home comfort and a whole heap of heart'
Our Nelson B&B is an oasis of hospitality, relaxation and calm, where your hosts, Kees and Robyn Van Duyn, provide you with quality accommodation and five star service.
Ambleside Luxury Bed & Breakfast is where you will enjoy the privacy of the guest lounge, deck and sunny courtyard, or a relaxing soak in the spa pool in the garden. The ambient stream at the bottom of the garden will surprise you with its abundance of wildlife and an experience unique to this B&B - feeding our tame eels, the baby ducklings and maybe even catch a rare glimpse of a blue heron.
Meet new friends over a delicious breakfast at Ambleside, Nelson bed and breakfast, enjoy a wonderful afternoon tea with home baking, or a yummy antipasto platter with local wine in the evening. "We try to provide every comfort and we will always look for ways to make your experience more memorable. You will leave feeling cared for" says Robyn.

Testimonials...
- A short note to let you know how much we appreciated Ambleside, and how we now understand even more just how much you spoiled us for our New Zealand holiday and just how good your B&B really is. We have now seen most standards and prices, and price and standard are not always synonymous. From the moment we arrived at Ambleside we knew we had struck gold with the most delightful accommodation and welcoming hosts. Only after a further four weeks enjoying the high standards of accommodation throughout the South Island in all styles and types of holiday accommodation were we able to really understand just how good Kees and Robyn are. Ambleside sets standards that others must strive to achieve, a jewel in the crown. Thank you both for a fantastic stay, we will be back.

- The highlight of my trip was being enveloped by your hospitality for four days… as soon as Kees sent me off the first night with his bike helmet light I relaxed knowing my adoptive family would be waiting up for my safe return. Then when Robyn found and booked my bus trip to the Marlborough wine country, I knew I was in Paradise (having my tee shirts ironed didn't hurt either!! I will never be able to express my complete gratitude, satisfaction, and appreciation to the both of you for making a once in a life time trip so memorable.
