I have stayed here every couple of months for the pass 6 years. As a business traveler Bay Crest Motel has every thing you could need. I would happily stay here on holiday too! Anton & Silvia (hosts) have been very accommodating over the years and I love how close Bay Crest is to the beach. Lovely rooms, very clean,... More

We stayed for 3 nights and the weather was great. The managers were very accommodating, as we only booked one night and then extended our stay. They even gave us a towel to go to the beach which is a short walk away. The room is very clean and comfortable and has everything you'd want. The room was large and... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in March 2013. The rooms were incredibly clean and well appointed with everything you need for a short stay. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and nothing is a problem for them. As you are located close to the airport you do hear the planes but this is not a... More

Like previous reviewers we could not fault the room for facilities and cleanliness. We were surprised how far out of Nelson it is - some 5kms. It is also under the flight path with airport almost next door and the main road is quite noisy till late. And we could hear our neighbours tv and phone calls! All that said... More

The atomsphere at the Motel was great, the room was the cleanest I've ever stayed in whilst I travelled New Zealand. The bed was very comfortable and the room was well lit. The manager and host was more than helpful, showing me where everything in Nelson was, and even picking me up from the airport.... for free!

We stayed for 3 nights in an upstairs studio which had been upgraded from a downstairs one. Was bigger than most studios we have stayed in and was very comfortable with all modern fittings and furnishings. It was very clean and the welcome by Silvia, the host was very friendly and informative. Yes you do get the odd aeroplane flying... More

Was a friendly and welcoming atomsphere, the room was a good size, well equipped and meticulously clean. Was a short walk from the beach and near several good restaurants. The hosts were more than helpful, answering any questions we had and even drove us to the airport free of charge. Would highly recommend it to anyone...

We've stayed at lots of motels/motor lodges and have never before been inspired to write a review...but Bay Crest Motor Lodge and the wonderful hosts get such top marks from us that we had to share with you. The units are bright and spacious, incredibly clean and very very comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble for these hosts, and we... More

I never usually leave reviews on travel websites but felt that the Bay Crest Motor Lodge deserved one after all the effort our hosts put in. As many others have said, the accomodation is spotless, attractive and the hosts are friendly and provide excellent service. They don't hover but are there immediately if you need anything. My mother and I... More
