Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Liz S wrote a review Oct 2024
Burnie, Australia

A fabulously appointmented executive spa studio.Despite a relatively small area, every inch was used to ensure the comfort of guests, including a filted water tap. We used the veranda each day over our 4 night stay as well as the laundry facilities ($4 for a wash and clothes airer provided). Our room was quiet, easy to access, and the spa was great to use at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment that was refreshed each day. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Great location clean and tidy rooms with friendly staff
Walked both nights for dinner
No noise from other rooms in fact this was very quiet with people in close proximity
Our room had full kitchen facilities that we didn’t need to use, would suggest more coffee pods but I am sure you could easily order them

The Century Park Motor Lodge was the perfect place for us to stay upon our arrival on the south island of NZ. Our room was spotless, quiet, fully functional including a well stocked kitchen and centrally located to walk to restaurants and the Saturday market. Stacie and her husband own the CPML and were so helpful to us as our luggage on Air NZ was delayed. Stacie jumped right in and help us get it delivered. Her husband helped us step up our rental for navigation purposes... a god send!
It appears that there aren't many places to stay in Nelson. This facility had everything we needed and wanted. It was quite easy to drive to a hike in Able Tasman as well as a boat cruise in Picton.
We highly recommend CPML to all fellow travelers.

The room was perfect. It was modernly finished with a full kitchen including a dishwasher and even filtered water! Every little thing was taken care of, from the kitchen, bathroom and even a Netflix account on the smart tv. The room was clean and fresh and the small patio was a nice spot to sit outside. I wish everywhere we have stayed could be this nice.

We stayed at Century Park before and after walking Abel Tasman. The Ambassador suite was very comfortable and well-provisioned for three adults. Staff were incredibly helpful when one of our flights was delayed and we needed to stay an extra night. Assistance with the storage of gear, advice and getting laundry done was very much appreciated. Highly recommend.

I recently spent a wonderful week at Century Park Motor Lodge, a true gem nestled in the heart of Nelson. The room was spotless, warm, and comfortable, making it the perfect haven for my writing retreat. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtfully stocked kitchenette, offering everything needed for a full cooked breakfast. The high-quality coffee and teas were a delightful bonus. Also, the spa tub in my rub was impeccably clean and nice given the temperature outside was a little chilly. Luckily, the rooms are comfortable and warm.

A special mention to Tina, the lodge's manager, whose exemplary hospitality made my stay even more memorable. Her friendliness and keen attention to guests' comfort sets a high standard in customer service.

The lodge's strategic location is another highlight. Proximity to the Nelson CBD offers a variety of dining options and the chance to explore the city's charm. I recommend a visit to the nearby Uplift Float Centre for an ultimate relaxation experience.

Century Park Motor Lodge delivers on all fronts - comfort, convenience, and outstanding hospitality. It's an ideal choice, whether you're in town for work or pleasure. Highly recommended!

I regularly stay at Century Park (every few weeks), and I have always had an excellent experience 😊
The rooms are clean and spacious enough for me to feel comfortable away from home, the staff are always warm and accommodating, and I love that it’s only a short walk to some lovely restaurants in town! I know that I will always enjoy my stay here, and this is why I keep coming back. Thank you for making me feel at home here

Absolutely LOVED the presidential suit I booked for 2 adults and 3 children. So clean, beds were comfortable, facilities were perfect for a young family. Our hosts Ric and Tina were absolutely amazing and went over and above to service us.
They offered beach towels for outings, washing and drying services and daily cleans. Can't recommend this place enough! 20/10!

The room was immaculately tidy and clean. Beautiful pillows and towel set up. Owner at reception was beyond helpful and brighten the end of a very long and hard day. The room was warmed prior to me arriving which meant the 2 degrees outside coldness was easily escapable by my toasty room. Thank you again :)

Hi Maryann The rooms in our Motel are pet free, although we do have a small dog in our owners accommodation.

Hi Wendy, Unfortunately we do not have any rooms available for that entire length of your stay. The only option would be to stay in one room and then move to another that is available however this can become a difficult and possibly expensive option as you would need to switch rooms a number of times during your stay. If you have any more questions regarding this please don't hesitate to contact me. Many thanks, Izaak
