“Cosy and convenient, studio room a bit on the small side”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2010

We loved Tuscany Gardens motel having stayed in several motels throughout our time in NZ. It was well decorated, clean and even included a little balcony. The staff were helpful enough and we made good use of the laundry services. The only downside was that when we compared it to the other studios we stayed in, this one was a bit on the small side as we kept bumping into our luggage in the snug area around the bed. Despite this though, it was in an excellent location and was very comfortable despite facing the road.
We would stay here again.

“Clean, comfortable and in a great location for beach and eateries”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2010

We stayed her for three three nights and had a real nice time. Our room was upstairs at the back and where not subject to the road noise mentioned in other reviews.

The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Great bed. The IS a laundry and very resonable it was too. We enjoyed the local eateries but thought 623 On the Rocks was overrated.

We also eat in the Indian Cafe in central Nelson for lunch and were very impressed with the curry selection.

Overall a good solid choice in Nelson by the beach.

“Cleanest friendliest of all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2007

The level of attention by the hosts, the cleanliness and the standard of decor was the best of our whole trip. The rooms are not huge but so well appointed. Restaurants and the beach are all just 5 minute walk away. An ideal base and so well priced. We loved it.

  • Liked — The cleanliness and wonderful hosts

“Nice decor but impractical, noisy and unfriendly”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2007
3
people found this review helpful

We spent four nights here and wished we had gone elsewhere. Our unit was very well furnished and maintained, but impractical. Lighting was poor, cooking facilities very limited and the lack of a mat inside made it impossible to avoid tracking wet in when raining. Bedroom was small and gloomy with a walkway past the window. Located on a main road there was a lot of traffic noise, especially early in the morning. Parking was tight and without allocated bays. The units are on two floors, we were upstairs, those downstairs looked really dark and enclosed. No laundry facilities. Owners were not friendly and seemed to resent visitors messing up their beautiful place. In five weeks in New Zealand this was the only place we found unwelcoming and the only place we would avoid in future.

“Just another motel”

The motel was clean but small and the staff was very nice. It was easy to find, yet far away from any attractions or scenery. Just a decent place to lay your head down.
