“Very impressed with all aspects”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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, glasses and crockery were of very high standard.

I would certainly recommend this motel and appreciate the welcoming atmosphere created by the owners.

“Very clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011

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. We enjoyed the BBQ in the sunset , as the lodge is facing toward the afternoon sun. All the utensils were there. The room was very clean, could not fault the cleanliness in any way, not a speck of dust or dirt to be found! The beds were so comfortable and pillows devine, what a great nights sleep we all had! Close to shops for small suppliessnd bigger shops a good 45 min walk, we walked there and taxi'ed back. Beautiful lodge, shame it is on the main road, however a 10 min walk and you right on the beach. If you have a car, it is close to everything wonderful that Nelson has to offer. Thank you for great service!

“very well kept motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2010

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 did not have any noise disturbance from traffic at night

“Great beds, amazing sleep. Highly recommended”

After travel through the South Island staying at motels, Abelia has by far some of the best beds I've ever slept in. Highly recommended.

“Nice and quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2008

A great Motel. The lady was really friendly. The unit was very clean and quiet. I heard no sounds from the units next to mine and they were booked. I found no fault at all, the price was good, this is not a 5 star unit, but worth staying in.
I travel a lot for work, so I like a clean nit and I could not fault this one.
As far as smells go, you have to understand that a lot of water in NZ is mineral water, so if the unit is closed up, it may have a smell, but once doors and windows are open and it's lived in.. all is ok.

Would recommend this Motel to anyone who wants a clean quiet unit. I had no trouble with traffic noise and I am a light sleeper , or getting across the road or on to it with my car.
