DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"close to bus hub"

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this place, it’s lovely. Well located with clean, comfortable rooms and quality amenities."

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay, thankyou!! Close to everything! Food in the restaurant was exceptional - breakfast & dinner 🍽 dinner...."

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."

Chelsea Park Motor Lodge Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"I just stayed here one night on my way from Picton to Franz Joseph. 2 hour car ride from the Ferry. My ferry was late so the staff made arrangements for me get my key as I arrived after hours. Electric blanket was a nice touch."

Quest Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"b"

Kings Gate Motel

8/10 Good

"Good, spacious unit layout, well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating and all the amenities required."

Century Park Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Century Park Motor Lodge. We booked at the last minute and were only there for one night, but the service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. When they realised my dad has trouble with stairs, they generously moved us to a more suitable unit at no extra charge. It was a small gesture that made a big difference to our stay. The unit was immaculately clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our daughter especially loved relaxing in the spa bath after a day out. The location was also ideal, with shops and attractions just a short drive away. What stood out most was the genuine care and friendliness of the hosts. They made us feel well looked after, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!"
