Great choice for one night!

The Balmoral is well located, with an easy walk to the beach and several dining options within walking distance. Access to services and provisions is a short drive away. The. Ed was one of the most co forts le ones we’ve slept in on our 2 months of travel so far! Location is quiet,

The motel is spotlessly clean and the accommodation was superb . The double room had a large comfortable bed and lovely kitchen with everything you need to cook with supplied. The bathroom was spotless and spacious with a fantastic shower. Absolutely loved our stay . Convenient to the beach which is within walking distance. It also a short drive into Nelson it’s self. Highly recommend this property . Belinda the owner was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable of the things to do in and around the area. Added bonus of having a salt water swimming pool.

Excellent Property

We were in a twin studio unit: 701 One Queen, one single. Parking right out front, swimming pool and guest laundry. The room was like brand new, kitchen all up do date and well provisioned. Excellent, modern bathroom. Some of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. Everything was clean and immaculate. Friendly staff too.
