Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Yuki is easy to deal with, the location of the motel is opposite to the river. Our parking is a little bit small but really appreciate the free parking provided by the motel.

    Riverlodge motel is situated just a few minutes walk from Nelson town centre. The room was sizable and on the first floor which meant some heavy lifting of luggage. There were a few cars in the car park already so we decided to leave the car on the road outside. We had a meal in the town so other than tea and breakfast didn’t make extensive use of the facilities which were more than adequate for a one night stay.
