The rooms are perfectly clean and well stocked. The staff was wonderful. It's a perfect location for walking to town or along the water.

The Sails was easy to get to and the suite was spotless. We ended up arriving later than the office was open due to a late ferry arrival, but they easily helped us get our key. Thank you so much for everything! We loved our stay with you!

Really high quality motel & staff . Sherrie was so welcoming !!! The motel is immaculately clean, bright and modern , with a fantastically equipped kitchen area , dishwasher with the dishwasher soap supplied, and access to washing machines and dryers on the ground floor. The bathroom was large with fluffy towels & lovely soar, conditioner and shampoo. The nespresso coffee machine had plenty of pods and fresh milk was waiting in the fridge . Our room was downstairs, so had a little patio area with chairs , and space to put a drying rack ( from the laundry) outside. Iron and ironing board and a safe were supplied along with bathrobes and crisp white sheets . Very impressed at the attention to detail, and unlike other motels we have used, even had salt and pepper mills .

Delightful Stay at the The Sails My husband and I had a brief but delightful stay at The Sails in Nelson. The room was clean and comfortable, with amenities including a small kitchen (featuring a sink, microwave, small stove, and dishwasher) as well as access to shared laundry facilities. The host was incredibly friendly and even offered to help transfer our laundry while we were out hiking in Abel Tasman National Park. The location is excellent, just a short walk to downtown.
