We enjoyed our stay and the unit was spacious, spotlessly clean and well laid out with a well stocked kitchen - everything you could need to cook a meal, if you were that way inclined. It was handy for the CBD which was about a 15-minute walk and there was a really nice restaurant almost next door. The only drawback was that our unit (number 8) was close to the road so, if you are a light sleeper, I suggest you ask for a unit closer to the back. Apart from that, I couldn't fault it and we would stay again if we were in the area.

Great little spacious motel unit very close to Nelson city. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was great! Lovely owners who were very helpful. My unit was right on the main road and I had a lovely leafy outlook from the windows and sliding door, but did have a lot of street noise and people walking past. However that was not a problem at all at night time and did not affect me sleeping. Was really happy with this motel!

Thank you Fraser and Kelly, thoroughly enjoyed my stay. These two take immense pride in their facility and their guests' happiness. The Admirals is a lovely facility in close proximity and walking distance to the city centre, greenspace and quiet neighbourhoods. A quick bus ride gets you to beautiful Tahunanui Beach area. Easy to get to Abel Tasman National Park or stay in Nelson and experience a nice 30 min. hike to Centre of New Zealand. Great restaurants, cafes and retail shops. Beautiful area. Will definitely be back to Nelson.
