Property is in the industrial area around the port. This made it very quiet which was nice, however was a bit more effort for getting meals etc as it meant a drive into town. A few issues with the TV in the room but this was sorted by the second day.

The people managing the property are extremely nice people, the hotel is okay for the one night we stayed the only downside to me was the location. I assumed it was very close to the ocean however despite being on the city marina, it feels more like it is in the industrial park of the city.

This was part of a longer trip for us, a road trip of the South Island, What a wonderful gem we found. All the staff were lovely, the room facilities were more than we thought, the breakfast room was lovely, Even though we might never visit this area again (we are from the UK) we would definately recommend to our friends wanting to visit the area. Thank you for a lovely stay xxx

The location is ideal - a 20 minute walk into town or the same along the coast to the fantastic Boat shed Restaurant. The bed was extremely comfortable and the views of the harbour excellent. A friendly host too

Well worth staying here

A very nice hotel located at the side of the marina. The room was spacious and comfortable although I would have preferred a harder mattress. There’s a restaurant within 100 yards, but we preferred to take a 20 minute walk into town where there is a wider choice.

An older hotel but completely modernized. Fantastic staff, clean and very comfortable room, wonderful complimentary breakfast. I also liked that it’s away from the busy streets coming into Nelson and close enough but also far enough away from the CBD. I’d definitely stay here again.
