I have stayed at the Palms Motel many times over the past few years. It has a fantastic location and the rooms are constantly being upgraded with all the modern luxuries you desire when travelling. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Booking is easy and the Management are first class. I will definitely return to stay again.

I've been staying at the Palms Motel for several years. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. The location can't be beat. There's a grocery store across the street and you are a five minute watk to downtown and many restaurants. There's no reason to stay anywhere else while in Nelson.

We came across this motel by accident and were not disappointed. The studio room was clean, comfortable and well appointed, including a spa bath. The Wifi allowance didn't last long and that was the only drawback. The motel itself is a few minutes from the town centre and therefore very convenient.

This was a lovely place to stay; after travelling for so many days on the road, it was great just to relax and chill out with the kids going nuts about the pool. The rooms were very inviting, immaculate and the bed was dream country! Highly recommend!

Excellent rooms, fitted with all the luxuries you need in between long winding drives and camping adventure. The solar-heated salt pool was just perfect in the afternoon to unwind, and their internet was great so we could work the couple of days we had to during the week.
