Our standard room was clean ad tidy and had all the facilities we would expect, including free hire of a DVD player but it was rather small and I am pleased we were not staying for more than two nights. The free wifi was of good speed but he main problem was the size f the kitchen area which was... More

We stayed in a number of motels in this chain during our trip around New Zeland. This one is typical, providing everything you need for an overnight stay. The standard rooms is not big but is cosy, clean and well maintained. They give you milk for coffee / tea. The only downside is the limited wifi that you need to... More

Handy to Nelso airport, but not so handy for centre of Nelson - ok if you have transport. Standard Bella Vista arrangement, good to have access to laundry facilities and all bedrooms were clean and well maintained. Couple of restaurants within walking distance down the main road.

Only niggle would be that the TV was abit dodgy and only half the channels worked... More

very comfortable accommodation. had previously stayed in a Bella vista in Invercargill and were very impressed. this one was of equal standards, very clean etc. There is a BBQ for clients use which we enjoyed using. we only had the basic small room which doesn't give one a lot of cooking space but it's amazing what you can do with...

We were lucky enough to be upgraded, without asking, to a very spacious apartment with two bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen/dining area. We found NZ quite expensive, by British standards, so were pleased to be able to do a bit of simple self-catering to make the 'spends' stretch a bit further! Like all the Bella Vistas we stayed in...

This motel is like all other Bella Vistas - clean and tidy and with friendly staff who were more than willing to assist. Our room was a little on the small side but it did have a table which allowed the suitcase to be adequately stowed. We had usual fridge and kettle and also a microwave which was useful. Location...

Photo's don't show the very small size of studio bedrooms. The queen bed took up the main living area. There was barely enough space to put a suitcase either side of the bed. No additional space. Raised this with staff, who didn't put us in a different room despite the place being largely empty most nights. Not good value for... More
