SingaporeThe staff were very friendly and helpful. One incident was that I dirty my shoes at a muddy beach and the staff kindly let me use a large cleaning sink to clean my shoes. Thank you and much appreciated. The location was very good with beautiful scenery - high and low tides right before your eyes. The room was vintage style, cosy and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Our family of 7 had dinner in the hotel restaurant - excellent! Highly recommend this hotel to visitors coming to the Nelson area.

- From $94.47 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 812 reviewsIt is gorgeous!! Our room felt like a log cabin in the mountains. Huge windows, a heater, comfortable beds, walking trails right outside, and just FUN vibes. It feels like a big, happy family. My son loved the playground and trampoline. We loved walking the trail to Lake Rotoiti, seeing eels in the creek on the property, and visiting with other guests at the restaurant. Laundry facilities were an added bonus. It’s a cozy, fun place and the hosts are lovely people!Guest review byStephenUnited States

Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.Guest review byKimNew Zealand - 10.0
Loved this spot for a well priced family get away.
Loved this spot for a well priced family get away. The staff were wonderful, check in was easy. The apartments were a great size to sleep everyone comfortably. Close to everything Motueka has to offer. Smoking Barrel for a burger and fries next level. Beautiful beaches.Guest review byRyan - 8.0

St arnaud is the starting point for discovering the delights of Nelson Lakes National Park. The town and the surroundings are extremely picturesque and the walks in the national park remain some of my favourites in the South Island. Beautiful beech forests. Also very nearby are dedicated mountain bike trails that are great fun.Guest review byFrankieNew Zealand - 10.0

We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman track. It is a small township, and we enjoyed walking down to the bay for the sunset. We had chosen the Aqua taxi to transport us up to the start of our walk, and enjoyed the efficiency and novelty of that experience. Just a warning to other travellers, By mid May, the little township is settling in for the ‘off’ season, which means that there are fewer grocery and eating options. We had been forewarned and had collected groceries at Motueka.Guest review bySneddleAustralia - 10.0

We enjoyed the local restaurants .The fish and chips at the smoke house were delicious,as was the smoked snapper we took back to our lovely accomodation.The meal and customer service we experienced at Mapua India Eatery was first class.A great spot to base your self,as you are close to many locationsGuest review byCowell - 10.0
We love this beach - especially in winter!
We love this beach - especially in winter! It is also very close to some special places - Tata and Ligar Beaches, the Wainui Falls, the Grove Reserve and more - always something new to discover. Molly Bs is to be reccommended…and the cafes of Takaka are not far away.Guest review byPeterNew Zealand
