The Wheelhouse
About
In South Island, The Wheelhouse occupies 41 Whitby Road, Britannia Heights, Nelson 7010, New Zealand. The Wheelhouse is a hotel, and the property's own website at https://www.wheelhouse.co.nz/ carries the details of its rooms and services. Guests rate The Wheelhouse 4.7 out of 5 across 122 reviews, a strong record for accommodation in Nelson.
First-time visitors can expect a Nelson base that sits within reach of Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura, so the property works well as a stop on a longer South Island circuit. The Southern Alps run down the South Island, and the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers.
Seasons on the South Island run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so travellers arriving from Europe should plan around the reversed calendar. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.
Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
