Chose this motel for location, look and pool as shown on internet. Location great, 500m from town and opposite Trafalgar Park. It was clean in arrival. However, for the price, it's old and dated, plus not serviced. Our room wasn't cleaned and when I asked I was advised it was because I didn't put sign in door. I had no sign, no advice to do so. Following day towels were changed out but that's all. No other servicing which was not at all expected nor is it advertised as a no service hotel. Pool is NOT heated as advertised. It was like ice and day 28. We were told pump was broken and it was swimmable but filthy and full of bugs. Full of kids toys and surrounded by old, broken furniture. Receptionist was friendly and helpful, but the rest really let them down.

Very comfortable and clean accommodation. Situated on a busy road but slept well on the ground floor. Real milk in the fridge and the owner/manager stored my bags for me after I checked out so I could collect later in the day. Large bathroom, good shower, comfortable bed. Doesn't have great road presentation but good value for money.

We were delighted to receive an upgrade on our second visit. Good location (1km to main shopping area of Nelson) with friendly and helpful staff, including helping to deliver bags to room. Washing machine was great after our hike and onsite swimming pool.

Most Comfortable beds ever, Tom was so nice to deal with and he kept the place immaculate. Incredibly quick washing and drying machines for just $8. in total. It was so quiet here, yet only a stone's throw from the city centre. Thank you having us to stay.

Stayed for 2 nights on arriving on flight from Wellington. Easy walking distance into town centre for supermarket, pubs and restaurants. Good access to Abel Tasman National Park and surrounding areas. Guest laundry, powder supplied - always a bonus.

This Motel is great value - spacious, clean rooms - really well situated, well equipped and quiet. The owners are super helpful and friendly. We stayed the night before walking the Abel Tasman walk - and arranged to leave our car here for the two nights while on the walk - before returning for a final night. Although we didn’t use it, the pool looked really good - everywhere is beautifully kept and very clean. Would highly recommend.

Lovely spacious apartment, clean and modern. Comfortable bed, comfortable sofa and armchair. Excellent kitchen, everything we needed. Very beautiful, modern bathroom, great shower with good water pressure. A very comfortable and warm stay on a wintery Nelson night.

We stayed here one night before our hike on the Heaphy Track and one night after the Heaphy Track. Both short stays were very pleasant. Rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. Toiletries provided, tea and coffee in room. Good WIFI. Well equipped kitchen in the 2 bedroom unit. Location was great, flat walking distance to the i-site, supermarket, restaurants and shopping in town. Ideal for our needs on this visit. Under new management, owners were very obliging and helpful.
