Very welcoming and friendly service, with great recommendations for Nelson and the area. Our apartment was comfortable and nicely furnished with everything we needed for our stay. Location is very convenient for sightseeing around Nelson. We were able to walk most everywhere. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, best stay in our past 7d in NZ. The place was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Great tv, cooking equipment and heated bed as well. 100% worthy of being one of the top rated motels in NZ.

Denise

From

United States

Wow! All the special touches on top of an already perfect accommodation! We felt well cared for, like old friends. The extra large soaker tub was well appreciated after hiking the Abel Tasman. Quiet, despite being next to the road, with lovely little private patio and garden. Short stroll along the river to the grocery for dinner makings. Couldn't have been better.
