We stayed in a standard one bedroom unit upstairs with a small balcony. It was truly 5 star accommodation with kitchen with all utensils. There was even some glad wrap provided indicating the thoughtfulness of the hosts. Loungeroom was large enough for us to entertain 2 friends. Bed was very comfortable. Quality bathroom. The unit even came with a fax... more

Very expensive, very uncomfortable and confined - helpful hosts and good location. The executive suite looks fine but the furniture is very uncomfortable and the lounge area very small - I was glad to leave. more

The room in this motel was the best room we stayed during our trip to NZ (15 days). It was very clean, had a king size bed which was very comfortable with a kitchenette which was very well equipped, there were even sweets and serviettes. It would be great if you were driving around NZ as you could leave your... more

Had a fantastic stay here, the room was beautiful with a fabulous spa bath. The owners couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. One of the best places we stayed in New Zealand, would definitely recommend it more

We had only one short night here, but wish we had had more. The hosts were so friendly. The hotel is located near tons of restaurants. We actually walked to the grocery store, grabbed cheese, crackers and snacks and relaxed in our room. Rooms are clean and comfortable. more

We originally planned to stay in the YHA in Nelson but glad we didn't as our room was luxurious (with a spa bath) and large - at a cheaper price as we had arrived late in the day. The owners were accomodating and helpful - plus offered free washing facilities - very rare as we were to find out. We... more

We picked this hotel based upon TripAdvisor ranking / price. It is good value, spacious room etc. as proclaimed by other users. About a 10 minute walk to main nightlife area. I didn't like the 10 am check-out time that they were rather strict about - found this to be a bit tacky given we stayed for several nights and... more
