Great location for exploring Nelson

Cute and clean little house in a nice neighborhood. We could walk into town for dinner, and there were nice coffee/breakfast spots just a few blocks away. Roz was great to work with on the reservation, and had lots of helpful information about things to do in the area.

History, location and to boot dog friendly!

Couldn't have got a better spot in Nelson. Being dog friendly was great. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and felt very welcoming. I had a problem with my dog who required emergency veterinary care and was able to stay on an extra night as no immediate incoming guests. A very understanding and empathetic host.

Sweet heritage cottage, quite roomy & bright

We quite we enjoyed staying at the cottage. Pre-check-in correspondence was clear and prompt. The host invited us to check-in early on the day we were arriving, as the place was available, which was handy for us, and very generous. Nelson is a wonderful place, with lots of highlights. We liked the Prince Albert and the Sprig & Fern for dinner, and the hikes above the cottage for good scenic walks. The WOW is incredible, if that kind of art speaks to you. The cottage was clean, homey, and inviting. The cottage is on a residential street, but the bedroom is on the street side of the cottage, and the street is a bit busy, especially during the day. The neighbourhood is quiet, the neighbours were nice, easy parking outside. Having the nice backyard, and the lovely bright garden room out back was a highlight. Easy to walk to town for the central sights, and easy to drive to the sights that were further away. Thanks again to Roz.

My husband and I loved our stay at Strupak Cottage.

My husband and I loved our stay at Strupak Cottage. We had a pretty full schedule while we were in Nelson and it was really nice to feel like we had a proper home to go to. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay, the umbrella we found was particularly useful for the days we were there :-) Bed was comfy and the place was cosy. Even though it was too wet to go out to the garden, we enjoyed having our breakfast in the little conservatory. Very convenient location for walking to town.
