“A great stop for our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We had a great night in this nice lodge. The room was tidy and clean, and all the facilities were coloured in lovely green, which is my favourate colour. The lodge was located just at the bottom of a hill and you could easily experience a sun rise if you drove to the top. It was closed to the everywhere, 5 mins drive to the beach, 20 mins drive to the town center. The owner was very nice and they offered FREE WIFI for us! The lodge was located just off a main drive and it ought to be a good place for you!

“A hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

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.

“Very impressed with all aspects”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

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
