Ray and Jules who owns and runs this BnB are fantastic hosts. Ray cooks breakfast to order. The scrambled eggs are some of the best! The room and toilets are kept in immaculate condition. Super comfy King size bed. The house is within 15 mins walk to all the local restaurants and grocery store. The house was built in 1893 and is absolutely charming.

The manor house was so beautiful with a quaint and artistic look. Very well maintained and a jolly good host. Ray was available when we reached his home and made sure settled In comfortably. He made us a yummy omelette in the morning. We also had bread, cereal, fruits and an assortment of jams. We had a chance to meet and talk to the other guests who had traveled from Sydney and the UK which was a lot of fun. Loved the stay. Would highly recommend this cute manor.

Lovely historic villa with well maintained grounds. There is a modern aircon/heatpump and ensuite attached to each comfortable guest room. Ray and Jules are very friendly and accomodating hosts and the location is superb for walking into Nelson center for restaurants etc. We enjoyed sitting and reading on the balcony in the late afternoon & evening. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful and quaint Character
Great location within 10 min walk of most of Nelson City. Excellent atmosphere made better by very friendly and attentive hosts Ray and Jules. Character historic home with the quirks of the 19th century plus the mod cons like ensuite bathrooms and r con/heat pumps. Enjoyable family style breakfast as a chance to meet other travellers staying over. Overall a great experience

Brilliant accommodation. Wonderful hosts and art to die for. The hosts couldn't have been friendly and went out of their way to make our stay just that much better. The rooms are wow and are very spacious. It's so central so getting around is easy. We would so happily stay here again and certainly plan to. Thanks

Comfort and Art
A lovely Victorian family home in a residential neighbourhood has been converted into a comfortable B&B, ably run by Jules and Ray. It really feels like arriving in a family home when entering through the fabulous wide hall. Nice sunny bedroom with en-suite, a comfortable bed and small easy-chairs and table. There is a kettle and a fridge to keep your wine or soda. It's easy to see that there is an artistic bend in the family. Over the years Jules and Ray have collected art, and paintings and fabulous pottery are displayed all throughout the house, including the guest lounge where the generous breakfast is served by Jules. Note: the coffee is very good and eggs come as you like them, with or without bacon. Breakfast company on one of the mornings was from France and from the North Island and a look in the visitors' book showed guests from around the globe had been happy there, as had we.

Old style comfort and very hospitable hosts.
A great place with very hospitable, friendly and helpful owners. Comfortable and clean, well- serviced rooms, very close to the city centre with easy access to facilities - restaurants, shopping etc. Outstanding breakfasts and coffee and tea provided in rooms or in the large lounge. Off street parking and an excellent, colourful and well-kept garden. A lovely large verandah to sit and read and enjoy the settings. Riverside parkland around the corner.

Fantastic B&B
Ray is a really welcoming host, and runs a super little B&B! The historic old house is really well converted and has such a homely and lovely feel, the breakfast is also wonderful. In terms of location it is really well situated and the indian cafe down the road is a great place for lunch. All up this is a wonderful B&B and highly recommended on your trip to Nelson

Our stay at Collingwood Manor was lovely. The owners went out of their way to attend to our needs. We were very impressed that they provided us with a lovely breakfast, despite our very early 5am departure! We were made to feel very welcome in this beautiful old building.
