    Yuki is easy to deal with, the location of the motel is opposite to the river. Our parking is a little bit small but really appreciate the free parking provided by the motel.

    Riverlodge motel is situated just a few minutes walk from Nelson town centre. The room was sizable and on the first floor which meant some heavy lifting of luggage. There were a few cars in the car park already so we decided to leave the car on the road outside. We had a meal in the town so other than tea and breakfast didn’t make extensive use of the facilities which were more than adequate for a one night stay.
