Qualmark 5 Star Rated Grampian Villa offers friendly, Deluxe ("boutique"), great value-for-money bed and breakfast accommodation, historic ambience and a mouthwatering array of breakfast and evening meals just 5 minute's walk from Nelson's city centre.

Located in the mature tree-lined streets of Nelson's dress circle on the lower slopes of The Grampians, Grampian Villa is a pleasant 5 minute walk from Nelson's City Centre.

A total of 4 guest suites are available. Your hosts Paul and Gwen Searle offer a mouth-watering gourmet full breakfast selection - homemade mueslis, yoghurts and cookies and a mouth-watering cooked breakfast.

Grampian Villa has four Deluxe ensuited rooms - 3 spacious SuperKings and 1 Queen with clawfoot bath. The two large upper floor suites have verandah access and with views of Nelson City and the sea and are especially popular with honeymooners and the romantically inclined. Both ground floor Garden Suites have French doors opening onto the spacious verandah. Rimu, Matai, Kauri and Totara native timbers are used extensively throughout the house. Built in 1895 one of the Nelson pioneer families, this historic and stately two storey Victorian Villa was purchased soon after by influential and public spirited Nelsonian Frederick G. Gibbs. Besides being a well respected local headmaster and almost single handedly classifying the flora and fauna of Nelson District, Frederick Gibbs was instrumental in establishing The Nelson School of Music, The Nelson Harmonic Society, The Suter Art Gallery, The Nelson Institute, and The Nelson Observatory.

Grampian Villa as a Qualmark 5 Star (Qualmark's coveted "Exceptional" grade) rating in the Guest and Hosted category.
