Great stay and friendly staff. Having to carry luggage to second floor was tough. Also, would not recommend the breakfast. Our fruit was prepackaged and the yogurt was expired by almost a month.

Great room with good modern decor, certainly a step up from the standard motel offering in NZ. Also loved the additional communal kitchen if you need more than the microwave in the room. Parking was a bit of a pain during the day because a lot of non-guests appear to use the car park and it's not policed.

A very nice room, although was surprised no fan in the bathroom. A reasonably good location, and everything was very clean. Had a bit of noise around my room, although not from the front door which was very quiet.

Nice accommodation outside of Nelson city centre. Great location with plenty of restaurants in walking distance. It was a good base for my day trip to Abel Tasman NP.
