If your trip ever goes...

Liked: The staff are so lovely and helpful. I had a made a mistake of booking a weekend late. With just just one easy phone call they were able to assist me in 10 minutes. The kitchen area is so spacious and stocked with all the necessities. Bathrooms are clean some with a hairdryer. They have a lovely board which states the weather and activities available in Nelson throughout the week of your stay. If you you’re a walker it’s not very far from spots like Centre of NZ or the waterfront. Lovely calm sounds played in the eating area.Friendliest staff !
Disliked: N/A
