The lady at the front counter is always welcoming.
Stayed here a few times now.
It’s 7am and nearly time to wake up for the continental breakfast that is included in our stay and begin another day.

Clean and tidy, could not connect to Wifi. Outdoor laundry a bit average, doesn’t really warrant an additional payment. Friendly service.

Staff and other guests were really friendly. The shared continental breakfast in the breakfast room was really handy and a nice way to start the day. The motel is in an interesting setting in the Port, and we were lucky enough to have an upstairs balcony with a view out over the water. While the outside of building tired, the room was beautifully done up. The restaurant/bar next door had nice food and friendly staff. Very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Stayed here one night before walking the Heaphy and left my sunglasses in the room. The lovely lady who checked us in called me and left it at reception to pick up after the walk. Thank you for the nice clean and lovely room plus kiwi service!

Good place to stay while in Nelson. Short walk into town. There is a restaurant about 50m from the motel. The motel also has breakfast in the morning. Basic but fills the void.
The staff were great at check in, and through out the stay. The property backs on the the port but that wasn't an issue..
