Top Founders Heritage Park Hotel Reviews

Quest Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, in walking distance to the shopping centre. Jake in reception was incredible, helping us with a booking problem. He was extremely welcoming and a wonderful asset to Quest."

Harbourside Lodge

Palazzo Motor Lodge

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had dinner and breakfast. Both Meals very high standard and service was impeccable."

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this place, it’s lovely. Well located with clean, comfortable rooms and quality amenities."

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."

Kings Gate Motel

8/10 Good

"Good, spacious unit layout, well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating and all the amenities required."

Tasman Bay Backpackers

10/10 Excellent

"Easy parking. Helpful friendly staff. Clean and tidy communal areas. Feijoas and chocolate pudding extra bonus."
