Really nice motel with great rooms, huge comfy bed . The owners were very helpful and have a great knowledge of most if not all things to do in Nelson.i would definitely stay here again. Also within walking distance of great restaurants and beach. Free wifi at McDonald's which is practically next door

Room made up and cleaned every day and clean towels every day. Big comfortable bed. I note the disappointment of one reviewer about the absence of free wi-fi and I noted from the motel information pack... More
