We have stayed at this lovely lodge on several occasions and have always been impressed. It is always spotless and very nicely appointed, with spacious rooms. The reception is always very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this hotel

This is a consistent motel, good attention to unit details, lovely presentation. Nice locality too, and the spa bath for me, a real plus, Net Fix availability good, hopefully as a horse racing fan, they can add the forthcoming free to view Trackside channels.
Management attentive.

Pleasant, spacious, clean, well-located motel with extremely pleasant staff. Had everything I needed and great value for money. Host made one feel very comfortable and welcome. Would definitely stay again if I were to return to Nelson. Worked well as single traveller but would be good for couples too.

Appreciate the use of a couple of extra car parks during the day.
Close to centre of town.
Appreciated the offer of a cold drink on arrival.
We will definitely be back.

Room tip: Handy to some great mountain bike tracks.
