This was honestly the best place we stayed in South Island. We stayed at places double/triple the price and this one was still the best. It was extremely clean, room extremely comfortable and spacious (the comfiest bed we have ever slept on) and the staff was extremely accommodating. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone passing through or visiting Nelson!

Perfect spot for three day stop in area, from the warm welcome through to the spacious and extremely comfortable bedroom with kitchen facilities and a lovely bathroom. It’s just a short walk into town along a well lit road, and also convenient to quickly access the coastal road. The room was serviced every day, and everything was well designed and thought through. The laundry room was also a welcome feature. Would definitely recommend.
