An older hotel but completely modernized. Fantastic staff, clean and very comfortable room, wonderful complimentary breakfast. I also liked that it’s away from the busy streets coming into Nelson and close enough but also far enough away from the CBD. I’d definitely stay here again.

This was part of a longer trip for us, a road trip of the South Island, What a wonderful gem we found. All the staff were lovely, the room facilities were more than we thought, the breakfast room was lovely, Even though we might never visit this area again (we are from the UK) we would definately recommend to our friends wanting to visit the area. Thank you for a lovely stay xxx
