Joya is located in a quiet area of Nelson, just 3 minutes’ drive from the popular Morrison Street Cafe. It is 10 minutes’ walk from Montgomery Square and 15 minutes’ drive from Nelson Airport.

Staying with Paulina was one of the highlights of my trip. I adored my time with her, and our conversations in the morning over breakfast. The house itself is older but well taken care of and has so much character. The garden is phenomenal, and I would do my stretches there in the evening after wonderful full days of exploring the Nelson area. My room also had a toaster oven so it was quite nice to have the option to do some falafel salad dinners in the room to save on eating out all the time.

    Private rooms are clean and cozy. Great location and great pub. Initially I was a bit worried it might be a bit noisy overnight with the pub downstairs but everything quietens down early. It is a perfect blend of good vibes and a nice peaceful place to sleep. Well priced and the staff are awesome.

    The view, the view, the view. We were in the studio at the top of the garden and it was quiet and private and beautiful. It is a good walk up to get there but fortunately we both really like walking anyway. I nearly cancelled this accomodation because of some of the reviews and I would have missed out on a great opportunity. Thanks David for being a great host.
