Great location. Clean and comfortable rooms. Deane was a great host and really accomodating. The rooms had everything we needed. Short stroll to the town centre. Really quiet. Will stay again when we return to Nelson.

Very friendly and helpful owners! A few of us were staying for a conference nearby and Dean offered to take us to the airport when we checked out. Thank you. The roadworks outside won't be there much longer. Not a problem for normal work hours. Just don't expect a sleep in until they're over.
