Nelson is a lovely place to stay. Weather was warm & a great vibe in the town centre. The motel has parking but it's easy to walk into the town centre. It was comfortable with separate little kitchen & bathroom. Nice cafe next to river about 5 mins walk from motel.

Not good at all. Beware as photos are deceiving. Potentially fake. A complete dive!! One towel for two people staying. No hand towels, facecloths, bath mat. So over priced. Would have been better off at a camp ground motel and would have been way cheaper. The hosts will deny the claims I’m sure. Also if you read some of the past reviews, they just don’t stack up. Fake as well probably.

Very friendly & helpful staff .
The 2bedroom unit was in poor condition, mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, the oven still had crumbs & the icebox was unusable due to ice buildup.
