Hello! I'm Charley, and I've called Nelson home for over many years, working as a professional chef throughout the region and the world. After three decades of creating memorable dining experiences for others, I've combined my passion for hospitality, culinary arts, and wellness coaching to create Amelie Urban Retreat - a space where guests can truly unwind and reconnect. I love sharing my local knowledge with guests - from the best farmers' markets to hidden walking trails - and nothing makes me happier than seeing people leave feeling genuinely restored. Whether you need restaurant recommendations or tips for exploring Nelson's incredible food and wine scene, I'm here to help make your stay special.

Amelie is a beautiful character home nestled on Nelson's hillside, surrounded by a mature wrap-around garden .This isn't just accommodation - it's a sanctuary where you can breathe deeply and slow down. The house itself is spacious with multiple light-filled rooms, each with its own character. You'll find a cozy TV snug for quiet evenings, a cosy kitchen flooded with morning sun and a well stocked pantry. Our neighbourhood is perfectly located and in just 10 minutes, you can be having a swim in the ocean or a walk along the river. amelie is just a 20 minute downhill walk into the centre of Nelson
