We stayed in a one bedroom apartment on the second floor in Jan 2013.The Location is excellent if staying near the beach in "Tahunanui" is what you are after, but if you did not have a car and wanted to spend a fair amount of time in "Nelson city" shopping or going to galleries/ markets etc or going to restaurants/bars...

We had a one bedroomed luxury apartment with everything you will need. Views across to the beach, & a nice balcony. The Sands is centrally situated, a number of bars, cafes, takeaways & restuarants all within 2 mins walking. Great for a night out without the car. Dinner at The Smugglers is well worth it, fab food.

The location is great and we had a quick bus ride into town on our first morning. It was a good staging post for exploring Nelson, Blenheim and Abel... More

Apartments are situated out of Nelson centre but across the road from the beach with a number of eating options close by. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. Living room is quiet, even though facing a road. However, found the bedroom was noisy as the window "looks" (high up so not for views!) out on to the secure car... More
