The motel is clean, well furnished and ideally located, but the best part about this motel is Max. He gave us a great orientation to Nelson and gave us many recommendations around Nelson. Everything he told us was spot on. He made our trip to Nelson very enjoyable.

Superb. Would definitely stay again.
Great service. I couldn’t fault anything. Beautifully clean. Great space in bathroom plus magnifying mirror, hot towel rail beside basin so could hang hand towel close (unlike many other places). Loved that there were 2 chairs at a spacious desk so no negotiation needed!! Well appointed kitchen with seating at island bench. Spacious layout.

This was a terrific choice for our two night stay in Nelson. We reserved a room with the bedroom separate from the living and kitchen area. Lovely room with plenty of space for two people on different sleeping schedules. Big enough kitchen area with all the necessary equipment (although the coffee/tea cups could be larger). Big bathroom with lots of towels and necessaries. Location was perfect for Saxton Oval and just two blocks from the very interesting parts and restaurants of downtown. Also close to groceries if you want to eat in. And the owners were delightful for recommendations and information. Good place!

Stay here - you won't be disappointed
Wonderful place to stay. Very clean with complimentary FRESH milk every day and really friendly staff. Our outdoor area on the ground floor wasn't private so you can talk to people next door if you're out there at the same time. Very convenient to the CBD - you can walk to restaurants/shopping in a leisurely 10 minutes.

Hello John. Thank you for taking the time to post a fantastic review about your stay with us. It is hard to get private outdoor areas, without blocking the sun or making the area feel spacious. Lucky we always have friendly guests, if you felt you needed to chat with others next door. Kind regards Max and Robyn.
