We've travelled overseas quite extensively and have not come across a place offering such cleanliness. The Motor Lodge is directly under the flight path of Nelson Airport, so it was good to know curfew time was after 9.00pm. Rooms are spotless, beds comfortable and Silvia and Anton are consumed with cleanliness and yes, the chocolates are a lovely gesture. Will... More

Excellent facilities, spotless clean, very comfortable, helpful owners on information about activities and restaurants, for this price bracket we were surprised to have fresh quality duvet covers instead of the old bedspread you normal get in this price range, real good value for money, outstanding daily service - the room was always immaculate cleaned again and even the toiletries were...

I have Stayed here for 3 nights in an upstairs unit with a balcony. The room was spotless and looks very new although the motel is already 8 years old! Light and spacious with good bed and bedding. The decor is attractive, fresh and modern. The chocolates left after our room was serviced each day was a lovely touch. The... More

Because of heavy suitcases and no lift,we asked for and received a downstairs unit fitted out for disabled clients at slightly extra cost. Room was extremely clean and quite spacious. Unusually the wardrobe was in the lounge rather than the bedroom, although the lounge does contain the third bed, which we did not use. We did not need the heater,... More

The complex is fairly new and the rooms are modern. We had an upstairs room, providing some views of the hills, and it was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed for our 4 night stay. The hosts were very friendly and could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The only downside is proximity to Nelson airport,... More

I have stayed at this wonderful motel twice now. On both occasions I found the motel to be spotlessly clean with bright airy and modern rooms. The location was close to shops, restaurants and a stroll to the beach. The owner could not have been more helpful and kind during both stays. It was a most delightful stay.

We are a family of 4 and stayed for a week in a one bedroom unit. It was an upstairs unit with a balcony, very light and spacious with plenty of room to spread out, even with two teenagers. The decor is attractive, fresh and modern. The rooms are comfortable with a generous sized bathroom. What impressed us most was... More

This was a great hotel to stay in Nelson. Its conveniently located just off the main highway - so its perfect to stay there to go do outdoors activities in the Abel Tasman park while also being just a short drive from the heart of Nelson for dining/hanging out, etc. The owner was extremely nice and helpful. She booked a... More

We are a family of 4 and this was our 2nd stay at Bay Crest Motor Lodge. We return to this motel because we can rely on the high standard of accomodation we'll recieve. The rooms are spotlessly clean, well equipped and have good sized bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable with quality bed linen. The host couldn't be more... More
