What an amazing house. The feel of the house was great- amazing views and fantasic veranda. The view from our bedroom was incredible- sun shining, blue sea and island directly infront. The hospitality was great too- very helpful, friendly and made to feel very welcome.
What a great town too!

“Three cheers for Te Puna Wai”
Te Puna Wai Lodge
Mar 12, 2008
Possibly the best b&b owners on the planet, Richard and James are terrific chefs, well read, verbose, quirky, and do everything in their power to make sure you have a wonderful stay in their equally beautiful home. I loved this place so much I left my passport in their new safe and they had to mail it to me in Christchurch! (gasp). But even amidst that panic, they were graceful and cheery: you leave wanting to be lifelong friends.

If you like B&B's, you'll LOVE this homey place. What can I say that hasn't already been said? The reviews made us very curious to see if it was all hype and we are glad to report; they speak the truth. Richard and James are there for you when you want them and genuinely want to make your stay enjoyable and be as much help as they can. They really know the area's activities and their restaurant recommendations are on the mark.
It's just the perfect lodging to experience Nelson and the surrounding area, a very sweet piece of New Zealand.

Te Puna Wai Lodge
Feb 21, 2008
Te Puna Wai was my absolute favorite place we stayed while in New Zealand. The location was excellent for a day trip to Abel Tasman and close to many great restaurants in Nelson. After a long day of kayaking we were able to relax with gorgeous views out of the top floor bedroom after an excellent dinner at Stingray in Nelson. I cannot say enough about the renovations that have occurred at this old home - it looks fantastic.
The breakfasts were quite delicious including fresh fruits, avocados, and bacon.

Te Puna Wai Lodge
Feb 15, 2008
This friendly b/b has wonderful views over Nelson. It is excellently situated for access to some really good eating places including the fabulous Italian restaurant...Venice Cove...only minutes away. The breakfasts are served in the spacious airy dining room with views over the Bay. Richard and James are friendly and full of good advice on places to visit, things to do and where to eat. Breakfasts include delicious fresh fruit. Rooms have been thoughtfully furnished and the bathrooms are really well appointed. A really caring approach makes for a most comfortable and relaxing stay.
