Right at the beginning of Baker street this was a perfect and accessible spot to stay. The suites are beautiful and extra touches inside make you feel well taken care of, the included laundry was a big help while travelling with a baby, and the staff are easy to reach, helpful and sweet.

We stayed in the Veranda Suite and loved it for the porch with the garden view. The room was spacious and the kitchen was well appointed and we cooked several meals in. Check in was easy and we loved that there was some parking on site. Great place for dogs as well. We did bring in a carpet from our car for them to lay on as it's all hardwood.

My sister and I escaped to Nelson for a little sisters retreat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The Victoria Falls Guest House was perfect for us. It was charming and clean and perfect for our needs. We were also delighted to discover that it was truly within walking distance of almost everything. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Victoria Falls Guest House. The suite we had was neat, clean and comfortable. The proximity to Baker St shopping and eating was superb. We managed to walk to many things that we were interested in doing for our short weekend stay. The floors are a little squeaky but it is an old house so that should be expected. It wasn't a problem for us but I worried that the people below might be bothered. We slept with the windows open since this October has been so gorgeous and there was some street noise on Saturday night but that is to be expected. You are going to get that at any of hotels near Baker St. Definitely recommend booking this guest house.

What a wonderful guest house stay we had! Booked the upper Falls suite room. There is not one negative thing I can say. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Private entrance. Easy check-in process. Walking distance to Anything you’d like to experience in Nelson. I am absolutely pleased!

Comfortable location to stay at. Quiet area, easy walk to restaurants, Main Street, etc. Damage to the outside fire escape stairs from a vehicle “not making the corner”, which made them unusable, was a bit concerning. The grout between the tile above the shower was rather stained, and could use a good cleaning. Otherwise, an enjoyable, quiet, good location place to stay.

Loved the old character of the beautiful charming house. Very walkable to amazing restaurants. The only thing to note, it is not quiet as it’s right next to a highway off ramp/busy road, also can easily hear guests is other rooms and above with the creeky floors but guests did a good job during quiet hours. Host was very helpful with local info and exploring nearby ski areas.

Noisy with commuters during working day due to traffic from off-ramp and highway, however that calmed down as the night went on.

Kathy Ann (the owner) was very nice. Readily available with any questions we had. The attention to detail in the room such as the furnishings, beddings, coffee and tea for our use as well as a basket of goodies (olive oil, noodles and sauce were a nice touch. Especially if you get in late and haven't had dinner. The location was wonderful, right in the center of town. Everything in walking distance. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend!!!
