Unusual space. We had a room under the main house, the smell of mothballs was a little overwhelming. The bath tub in the room looked nice in the pictures, but in reality was very out of place. The receptionist was a bit awkward and left us feeling like we had come to the wrong place. The house and gardens are beautiful from the outside, but on the inside it just needs a bit of tlc. Understandably this is a very old property and must be difficult to maintain
We stayed during July 2017, on a NZ holiday, my wife loves period accommodation so.
The place appeared to be left to a group of backpackers touring NZ, the lady was very helpful.
We had the top north facing room. Very large room and it had some great furniture and fittings and some just filling space. This and two other rooms were accessed by an external uncovered stairway not for the older person and a struggle with large bags.
The TV was not HD and not many channels, heating was via a small portable, the bed mattress did not go to the edge of the frame and was passed its used by date. Under the bed there was quite a lot of dust, but all the normal areas we OK.
Breakfast was a set affair but OK. The dining room did not appear to have had a dust in the three days we were there.
Generally the grounds and the house are in need of work and some love, it may appear that since the renovations it has not been an on going labor of love.
We met here for a wedding. Various people kept telling off the children for doing nothing in particular.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this magnificent old house, Very impressed with the restoration work done and the staff were very helpful. We were made to feel very much at home.
Great how they refurbished the old building.
If you're looking for a unique accommodation and atmosphere in sunny Nelson, than Warwick house is the place for you.
The place is beautiful and most importantly, the hosts, Nick & Jenny are wonderful and good people. They helped me a lot in private matters as well and I feel fortunate that our paths have crossed.
My stay there was a very positive experience that still echos in my life.
Thank you,

Historic establishment (which is why we opted to stay here on our first trip to Nelson) which is in need of some TLC. Friendly staff and owners and conveniently located.
