I loved Hotel Nelson. It has a very central location so an easy walk to the marina, shops, cafe's etc. They also have an awesome heated pool as I found the ocean is so cold. The hotel was very clean and the bed comfy.

Hi Debbie, Thank you for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, although our apologies we did not have an available car space for you. Although we are lucky to have the council carpark next door, we do try to monitor our free onsite parking to allow all guests 1x vehicle to be parked during their stay. Thanks for your understanding and we hope to see you again.
