Centrally located and set up for adventure, exploration or just walking the central city, the Hardy Street School House is the perfect base for discovering the beautiful Nelson / Tasman region, and it’s only minutes' walk to Nelson’s best Cafe’s, Restaurants and Bars. Hardy Street School House also happens to be one of the oldest buildings in Nelson (1860), with a full renovation completed in 2023 to convert the interior into two contemporary, self-catering luxe apartments with either 2 bedrooms, 4 bedrooms or combined for 6 bedrooms (all rooms ensuite) for larger groups. Both apartments include secure bike storage and share a private decked courtyard, the perfect place for a post-exploration catch-up or unwind.

Your hosts, Jason & Jennifer. We love the region and we love the School House. Having traveled the world in various forms from living out of the back of a rusty car in Alaska to 5-star Island Resorts, we’ve returned to our natural home and used our experience to create a place we would love to stay in ourselves.

Hardy street and it's off-shoots are home to Nelson's best Cafe's and Resturants, while the School House itself is in the Albion Square Historic area and only 1 mins walk from the Queens Gardens, 5 mins walk from the Maitai river and 10 mins walk to the Cathedral or Saturday market.
