Warwick House offers luxurious boutique bed and breakfast accommodation in Nelson's well-known, turreted castle. Your hosts Nick and Jenny invite you to stay and share with them the intriguing history, impressive architectural features and the graceful ambience of times past in one of Nelson's most fascinating buildings.
Warwick House was built in 1854 and is one of the finest examples of early Victorian opulence and grandeur in New Zealand. The house was extended in the late 1870s to include three towers, a spiral staircase and an impressive ballroom. Warwick House was a major venue for lavish entertainment by early New Zealand politicians and leading merchants.
Warwick House first operated as a gentleman's boarding house in the early 1890s and has now been reopened to the public as one of Nelson's most stylish and luxurious locations for boutique accommodation and private receptions.
Warwick House overlooks Nelson City and the Tasman Bay beyond and is an easy stroll down the riverside "Willowwalk" to Nelson's attractive city centre.
The surrounding area has much to offer visitors. "The castle" as it is known locally, is close to the Abel Tasman National Park and the Kahurangi National Park, both of which offer a variety of activities including tramping, kayaking, fishing, boating and safe swimming beaches. The Nelson region has some spectacular scenery and is also renowned for its wines and arts and crafts. Warwick House makes a perfect base from which to explore the region.
