This hotel was great, the staff there were so nice and welcoming. Even though it is out of the city the rooms were clean, modern and very spacious. The only noise would be from the cars driving by. If you have a car this is a perfect spot, if you are traveling by bus you need to plan a little more but the bus stops are right across the street so still convenient

Very friendly staff and spacious studio unit. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Didn’t realise the unit had no cooking/kitchenette facilities but there was a communal kitchen we could use, along with a guest laundry. It was more akin to a large hotel room than a motel unit. The complex is on a busy corner so some traffic noise but overall a very pleasant stay.

I have never stayed anywhere as welcoming or comfortable. The owners went above and beyond and could not have been more hospitable. The beds were super comfy and the location was great for getting to and from the airport, as well as buses to the Abel Tasman track. We seldom write reviews, but we are so grateful and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Nelson.
