Robyn was great!!! Wonderful place to stay.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Jun 2024via mobile
Wonderful place! Very clean and had everything we needed. The hospitality was just amazing. Robyn was a wonderful host and had some really great recommendations for us for the area in Nelson as well as for the rest of our south NZ travels. We wished we had stayed more than one night. Nelson has a lot to offer and everything is walking distance from the motel.

    Fantastic place to stay! Absolutely love it here. Owner is very welcoming, rooms are beautiful and clean, bed is super comfy and i was giving a mini bottle of wine which was an awesome surprise! I travel to Nelson at least 4 times per year and I always stay here. See you again next time!

    Room tip: get the spa room! The spa's are amazing!

    I stayed with my two year old over the long weekend, we were warmly welcomed, the suite was clean and well equipped with everything we needed - and Robyn went above and beyond sourcing some toys to keep him entertained too. Excellent location and will definitely return!

    A great stay. Host was welcoming and helpful about places to go and things to do. The room was warm, well designed and the bed was super comfortable. I have stayed in other motels in Nelson before but hands down this was the most comfortable stay I've had.
