Best Hotels near Manase’s Jenga, Nelson

This is a really nice hostel. We stayed in a private room but used the kitchen, laundry and dining area. Enjoyed the chocolate pudding. The description of the Backpackers is very honest. We could hear a bit of noise from the kitchen which was near our room but is was just a gentle chatter or clatter. It didn't disturb us and I actually don't mind mild background noise. Like living somewhere with other people moving about. Was quiet late at night. Laundry charge was quite modest and less than another Hostel entity charged when I stayed there in 2019. There was some wear and tear such as a leaky tap in the kitchen, but very clean. Stayed 3 nights and would stay again. They had a small bus so they might pick up people by arrangement but I am not sure as we had use of a car.

Very friendly staff. I loved the marina being right there, and the fact that it is accessible to the public. Will come again.

Having a particular standard across each park lets us book with confidence, knowing what we will be getting. The pictures or all angles of the room are very helpful and listing everything included in the room helped immensely. The park was very clean and tidy and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The location is very good. Right next to the beach. It is close to McDonald's and KFC, liquor stores, restaurants, and children's playgrounds. Hygienic and clean. But the room facilities are older. The toilet seat lids are so old they don't look good and won't be replaced. The power safe is in the bedroom, and the sound of the current is loud and harsh. It's fine during the day, but too harsh at night. Said to fix it, but never came. There was no parking space when I went back after dinner. One day, the staff drove away her car and gave up the parking space. Later, when it was later, we tried not to drive. The service staff were very responsive, we had already left and they called to say we had left behind our children's clothes. really thankful.

Great location ,very clean and tastefully fitted very friendly and professional staff, also nice to see is a big tv screen very rarely seen at other places we stayed Especially watching a live game of rugby( all blacks beating the boks) Very comfortable beds great linen and pillows we stayed in a twin poolside room with spabath and 2 double beds Highly recommended and at a great rate We looking forward staying here again

This was our second time staying here, and it was just as good as we previously found it. It’s clean and modern, with a very good standard of fit out and furnishings. It’s quiet, and with a very comfortable bed meant we had a couple of good nights sleep. It’s an easy 10 minute stroll to the centre of town and restaurants. We’ll be back for a third stay in the future.

We booked a family room with 3 bedrooms for 3 couples and 2 kids. The kitchen was quite small for a 3 bedroom family room and one of the rooms was quite small - not even enough space to open suitcases. It was cold and we found that the smallest room’s electric blanket wasn’t plugged in. To top it off there wasn’t a power outlet in the room either. Went to call reception but the phone wasn’t connected to the phone point either. Had to move the furniture to connect the phone and reception staff said the house keeping staff will look into it. I told them no one can add a power point in the room now and they said we can give you an extension cord and try and find an extra heater!!! We were traveling with parents and little kids - extension cord wasn’t an ideal solution. Went up to the reception and at one point the receptionist (who was in training) said she can give us our money back and we can leave. Where were we going to go at night with the whole family??? Eventually to resolve the issue they offered us 3 separate rooms upstairs, at least they had working heating. Next morning while trying to heat up some food, we found the microwave in one of the rooms wasn’t plugged in and there was no outlet for it either!!! Hopefully the hotel invests in making sure their appliances work and have outlets to plug them in. And provide better training to staff so they don’t put the responsibility/shift the blame on each other (reception putting it on house keeping and vice versa).

We sandwiched a trip to the Abel Tasman National Park with a night either end at YHA Nelson. Our ensuite room was clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced and we appreciated being able to store unneeded luggage while we were away. Lots of good eateries within walking distance but if you want to self-cater there is a large and well equipped shared kitchen. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Take up their offer to book your taxi to the airport - the subsequent discount on the fare was a nice little end to our holiday!

Hotel location is convenient, walk to the main street of the city 7-8 minutes. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are complete, and the separate kitchen is suitable for those who like to cook their own meals. If you bring a child, you will have to pay for the child. Filling out the child information when booking a room automatically calculates the room rate and automatically assigns the appropriate room. If you temporarily increase your child's stay, you will need to add a child's room rate. This is a motel with plenty of parking.
