Description
Nelson Honey’s owner Phil calls our West Coast Honey a ‘Fruit Bowl of Honeys’ and with that he’s referring to the wide range of native floral sources that make up our West Coast Honey.
Our bee hives are positioned in the pristine wilderness that is the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Our bees feed in these pristine forests and bring you one of the purest honeys you will find anywhere in the world. With diverse native floral sources like Rata and Kamahi it really is a Fruit Bowl of Honeys!
Our West Coast Honey is mild flavoured, lightly coloured and a popular choice for children and adults alike. Great on toast, added to a glass of hot water, in baking or just by the spoonful!
West Coast Honey is available in 250g, 500g, 1kg and 2kg jars.

Ain’t no sunshine when it’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when honeys gone
But it won’t be gone for long ‘cause I’ll order some today
Wonder how long ’till it comes
Wonder if honey will be here today
Ain’t no sunshine when honeys gone
But it won’t be gone for long ‘cause I’ll order some today
Hey, it won’t be gone for long
‘Cause they’ll courier it straight away
Ain’t no sunshine when honey’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when honey’s gone
But the courier will deliver it today
Anytime honey goes away
Anytime honey goes away
Anytime honey goes away
With apologies to Bill Withers

We are travelling in Japan and the small jars of honey are a perfect gift for our hosts. They are well presented and people love them.

Have tried other brand products, not as nice as Nelson honey, west coast honey, really good. Good value for money too.

Top honey. Brought a 2 kg jar at the Honey cafe at Kumara Junction on a trip to Greymouth 18 months ago. Lasted me a year and when I went to buy another 2kg jar, the biggest I could get in Cambridge was a 250gm jar, so I brought the best HONEY in NZ online from you. Nothing quite like West Coast honey and 2 slices of toast.

West Coast honey the best. Hot buttered toast and west coast honey – can’t go wrong

WEST COAST HONEY – SUPER!!!
We have just started using this honey and find it delicious.
I also used it when I had a sore throat and found it really helped clear up the problem very fast.
If I start to feel peckish mid morning, a teaspoon of this honey takes me through to lunchtime.
We will be regular purchasers of this nectar. Thanks.

I ordered from Nelson Honey after hearing about it from a friend and wish I’d got onto it way sooner. My honey arrived quickly (2-3 days), I love the free postage, and the fact that it is much more economical then buying honey from the supermarket. Will continue to buy from Nelson Honey!

I have been getting honey from Nelson Honey for over 40 years usually from the Motupiko shop but this time I ordered on line as was not “passing through’ during opening hours. I was amazed at how soon it was delivered. I have always had great service and we love the honey.
Tony (verified owner) –
I ordered online 2kg of West Coast honey and are very happy with the product. The honey is excellent tasting and had an efficient delivery to Huntly, Waikato. Thank you very much Nelson Honey! Much depreciated product.

I purchased a couple of 1Kg jars of West Coast Honey and we really enjoyed the taste. It soon disappeared, so we followed that up with a 2Kg jar, which was delivered promptly, and promptly enjoyed. We’ll be back for more…
Cheers, Robin

Ordered online, delivered quick as a flash. These 2kg containers of natures goodness is great value. We ordered 3 tubs, yum yum yum. Will be spreading the word. Cheers Andrew, Aucland.

Not every day one gets to taste the ‘pure creamy texture of a natural honey’….now we can with the arrival of our order. Use a dibble, use a finger…does it really matter because it tastes so great eaten with anything, using any inplement one likes…it does not detract from the pure smoothness and wonderful blend that is West Coast.
david pierson (verified owner) –
superb value for a supreme blend of “caramel-like” honey! no others compare!
Sue Toulis (verified owner) –
Delicious. The best homey I have purchased for a long time, will definately return.
colin slater (verified owner) –
While travelling to Nelson our friends stopped at your premises to buy honey, I didn’t know you existed. Then another friend showed me the large container of West Coast honey he ordered on line and gave me a taste, that was it !! I ordered two large containers, one for a friend in CHCH who is a honey freak and also told my sister who lives in Melbourne and misses NZ honey, she can hopefully order online. We will continue to do as the service is terrific, glad we found you.

The best honey for spreading on bread or toast. I’ve bought it before and will buy it again.

Great service and honey is excellent quality.

Called in to Nelson Honey on the way through to Nelson from Christchurch and purchased our first supply of West Coast honey. This was quickly devoured when we returned to Auckland, so much so that I placed an order for 2 kg on-line. Arrived quickly and the free postage was a bonus. Will certainly be placing a further order once existing supply has been enjoyed.
JW (verified owner) –
I have only positive things to say about your honey. Your website is easy to use, the delivery was fast and free, and the best of all, the honey is yummy and creamy. I will definitely order again in the future.

Purchased a 2 kg of West Coast honey.
Love the soft creamy flavour and you can almost taste the west coast bush when you taste the honey .
Ordered on the Internet because the last time we drove home past Nelson Honey they were closed and it was so easy to place an order and 2 days later it arrived by courier
Thank you for the tremendous service
Paula (verified owner) –
Wonderful honey! Thank you for being out there and making it just for me … ok, I guess I can share it with the rest of the world since it is that darn awesome. Amazing service and free delivery to boot – what else could you ask for. My kids ((I have no choice but to share it here) devour it and another order will be on the way shortly. Great job, and tell the hard working little bees that we are grateful
Ilona Pux (verified owner) –
Very nice aromatic honey. I ordered it because a very fussy swiss chef recommended it to me. And he was right very nice honey. Best Price !!!free delivery. Promptly delivered…all perfect.
As big honey eaters I am very pleased and will order more and recommend it to friends.
The honey also makes a very nice suprise present for birthdays etc. EASY.

It’s summertime and the bee’s are buzzing, 1kg and 2kg jars are back in stock!
I placed my order and the next day a 2kg parcel arrived.
Yum; my wife and I are making our way through it at a great pace.

I first tasted Rata and Kamahi honey when I helped out an apiarist in Ahaura over 35 years ago and realised that clover is just bland. My wife purchased 1Kg of West Coast Honey in Kumara a few months ago; its a great mix of flavour and a little stronger than the Rata we can get at the supermarket. I’m really looking forward to getting some more, but disappointed to find that you are out of stock of the 1Kg and 2Kg containers. I’ll check back and hopefully it will be in stock soon. In the mean time I’ll have my hand in the jar trying to get the last of that great taste out!

Very tasty honey and goes well in cups of coffee and tea. I have it on my toast in morning and sometimes the amount gets a little bit more than I should be having, but i still have it.
Have recommended it to a few other friends that i know, that have honey in their drinks and one uses it in cooking as well,the cakes are very tasty with the honey in instead of sugar.
would recommend to any one that would like to try a different taste of honey, too try this honey as it is great.

We discovered Nelson Honey in response to an advertisement in a Christian newspaper. Ordering on line was a breeze with email confirmation and later delivery information. Great communication. Enjoying our West Coast creamed honey, so smooth, easy to spread and delightfully tasty. The 2kg pack is so easy to use and reminds of the tins of honey of yesteryear. Great product, great service; we’ll be back on line soon to re-order.
Euan Busch (verified owner) –

Peter (verified owner) –
This honey blend reminds me of my first tasting experiences of honey, in my early childhood, now well over fifty years ago – so, what else can I say other than this is a classic honey. In addition, the service matches the quality of the honey.
