Jos and Bob,

We want you to know how very much we enjoyed staying at your new B&B. You guys have done a wonderful job with the layout, design… it was such a peaceful retreat for us after staying with relatives for a week. Thanks for all the beautiful linen and towels. It made our stay so much more enjoyable and all the goodies you provided.
Good luck in the future!!

Staying at Jos and Bob Preston's is more than your usual bed and breakfast experience.
 
Whether you want to go about doing your own thing or enjoy Jos and Bob's warmth and hospitality, anything goes and you are truly made to feel welcome.
 
Jos and Bob know Nelson well having lived there numerous years, so found their local touch and knowledge handy while I was holidaying and having advice on hand to make sure I made the most of my stay in Nelson, seeing as much as I could from wineries, art and craft to shows. They were able to point me in the right direction.

Comfortable and modern with a lovely clean fresh appeal, has stunning views overlooking Tahuna Beach. Be spoilt with lovely sunrises and sunsets and a vista that captures the essence of Nelson - from Haul-a-Shore Island to the ranges.
 
Make sure you get a moment to amble through the beautiful garden, that houses cooing doves. Squish yourself into the outdoor bean bags with a glass of wine in hand and relax.
 
I would recommend staying, it will be a delightful addition to your visit to Nelson.

Many thanks to Jos and Bob.  In a country where quality Bed and Breakfasts abound, Tahunanui House rates top of our list.  Memorable for its great location - perfect for discovering the gorgeous Marlborough vineyards - and exceptional hosts.  With a charming garden and patio deck to relax  on and enjoy the spectacular view over Tasman Bay, contemporary, calm and spacious accommodation, this was for us the ultimate B&B experience.  All done with generosity, style and flair.  Jos's lovely welcome platter and breakfast (fresh raspberries, strawberries, yoghurt, homemade muesli, breads and gourmet coffee) to die for!
 
Can't wait to return.  Our only regret was that we allocated only a short stop-over here on our tour.  We will plan our next visit to New Zealand around Stay-Nelson.
