The location is ideal - a 20 minute walk into town or the same along the coast to the fantastic Boat shed Restaurant. The bed was extremely comfortable and the views of the harbour excellent. A friendly host too

Laurel

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.

Disliked: Staff & service
Harbourside Lodge is between a marina and an industrial park. One decent restaurant next door. We had to walk a few blocks to find other restaurants.We had to go looking for clean towels -management issue I guess. Breakfast offered is underwhelming.

Liked: Amenities
Unfortunately no sky tv only got a few channels. Was placed on main floor by the check in so lots of noise all night as people try to check in. Best place to eat is Styx 15 minutes walk down the road. Don’t bother with anchor, bad food.
