“A lovely clean, quiet relaxing place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2009

I took my elderly mother to stay at Amber Court and we found it a very comfortable, friendly, relaxing place to stay. It is handy to everything, easy to find and access. It is a few minutes from the beach, but if you have a car, that is no problem.
Sure it is near a very busy road, but the sound of traffic is muffled and distant. Certainly not loud enough to disturb. The hosts are friendly, welcoming and extra-ordinarily helpful. The unit was ultra clean - even my mum couldn't find anything to criticise! The beds are comfy and cosy, and there is a well equipped kitchenette, along with a spacious bathroom with a lovely spa bath. I have stayed in a few places in Nelson, and many many motels around the country and I can honestly say that this is one of the most spacious, homey and welcoming. I will return, and I will tell others to come here.

“This place is awful - and expensive - don't do it!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2009

I spent a couple of nights here in Feb 2009, what a mistake! The motel is actually right on the main road. It is advertised as 'the place to relax' - what a joke - you're virtually sharing a bed with the main road!

In addition, the hot tub is filthy, the entire complex is like a car park, having been completely tarmaced over and there is no charm. The owner didn't seem to like it when I went back to my room during the day whilst I was staying, I did tell him it was due to the heat as I had been out walking and I felt like a rest inside for an hour or so. I have never before been to a motel where they monitor your whereabouts and quiz you on your motivations for returning to your room!

In addition, this place is very expensive for what it is. I saw lots of better priced and nicer looking places in Nelson, you'd do well to book one of those rather than here!

We welcome feedback and mostly it's been extremely posititve which is great. Occassionly we get constructive criticizm and we always take note of this and make improvements where we can. This review however, we have taken exception too. It is not accurate of ourselves, our complex or our staff. We have a great 4 star complex and are proud of the improvements we have made over the 2 years we have been here. It is close to the main raod and we make no appoligies for this, a large percentage of our custome comes from drive ins. The 2 units closest to the road are fitted with hush glass (similar to double glazing) and are lovely, spacious, clean, sunny units. We invite all our walk in customers to view the units before booking and if our road side unit is booked online the customer is advised of it's proximity to the road prior to completing the booking. February is our high season and we would have been full most nights. This guest would of been fully aware of the location of his unit and the rate before he decided to stay. There are no surprises here. If this guest was so disgusted in his room why I wander didn't he come to the office and see us. We are friendly and very approachable. And why did he stay 2 nights?. We cannot and would not change our location, we are not willing to tear up our spacious parking area and courtyard, and we ARE very friendly and love nothing more than a full Motel with people coming and going and enjoying our complex and everything Nelson has to offer.
Please check us out and judge for yourself, visit our brand new website, www.ambercourtnelson.co.nz We would love to have you stay with us.
