I enjoyed my secluded, private patio. Perfect for an afternoon sun-sit. The jetted tub was a great. And the curtains allowed for a wonderful darkness for sleeping.

Big and well set up bed, kitchen, dining rooms. Extremely comfortable bed and impeccably clean. Don't bother booking a spa room as the spa will never fill due to poor water pressure. A bit of road noise depending on the wind but not a big issue. Good dining and seating options.

A nice, clean and friendly motel. Good room setup, the odd cosmetic bits in need of paint/repair but understand the downtime required to do those little things. A good location, even being beside a busy road, the double glazing kept it quiet inside along with the Air Con keeping it cool inside as well

We got in late, which was accommodated and had a wonderful night's stay in a clean, quiet, and spacious room. My mom wanted the AC running all night so I was worried I'd be chilly, but the bedding was warm without being overly so. I would gladly stay there again next time I'm in Nelson

When I booked I never saw an up stairs unit as it was not in the pictures. I thought that was great as I mobilize with a walking stick and sometimes with a walker. When we arrived we were given the upper story, I wasn't able to get up the stairs at all. We were going to get our money back and find somewhere, it was the that the manager solved our problem. there was a quest who had just gone into a down stairs unit and he was pleased to let us have the room.

I don't often write reviews, but this place was super cute. Close to the airport and the beach, while also being quiet, friendly, and well-fitted with amenities. Owner was lovely without being too needy during my interactions with him as well, which is a hard balance to strike. Looking forward to staying here again!
