This place was recommeded to me. It is a hidden gem. It is easy to find on a main road leading into Nelson town centre. Even though on a main road there is very little noise from traffic. The unit was very clean and modern. Excellent bed and I love the duvet as it was so light but warm. More

As a couple of female friends, we requested a twin room and although this necessitated splitting a kingsize bed into two singles, this was done quickly, efficiently and with pleasant communication. The rain was teeming down but the response to our request lifted our spirits. The room, kitchen and bathroom were immaculately clean and very comfortably furnished and the cutlery,... More

The lodge was very clean and the service of the owners was terrific, we asked if they had a BBQ and they wheeled one right tothe apartment straight away.

This is a very well kept motel, we had a lovely one bedr0om unit with everything in tip top condition and very clean, it is one of the best units we have stayed in during our 8 weeks in New Zealand. The motel is on a busy road but the units are set well back from the road and we... More

This is nice simple motel in a busy commecial area away from downtown. our room was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. There's not much around worth walking to, but its price was reasonable, in a good location if you have a car and the room was more than comfortable and clean. More

I booked this hotel based on some positive TripAdvisor reviews - big mistake. The motel's location isn't a problem if you have a car, but there is nothing touristy close by and it is on a industrial business type street. There is no elevator and it is a pain taking the windy stairs to the second level. The rooms are... More

The Abelia Motor Lodge was a nicely-run, small motel on the outskirts of Nelson, near Tahunanui beach. The rooms are clean and modern, and the cooking facilities well maintained. The motel resides along one of the main roads into the center of Nelson. This is both a good and bad thing. It allows easy access to the town centre but... More
