Great to have a spa bath in the room. The only thing they could have improved on was put the single beds in the double room and vice versa so you could leave the door open into lounge for kids at night as one bedroom had a fire door that had to be closed.

Reliable and affordable stay in Nelson!
Pros: Great location - close to the main Nelson centre area, Abel Tasman National Park, and the Nelson Airport Price is very affordable and fair Ton of TV options to choose from Plenty of parking available Late check-in available Cons: On this particular stay, housekeeping forgot to provide coffee during clean-up. We were also closed-in our room by painters. They were painting outside of our room and have covered the door in a tarp. We had to ask to be let out by the painters who had no idea we were in the room. A bit strange but we got out at least.

Hi Wayne. Thank you for your review. We have only been here for 4 months and in this time we have cleaned the property up quite considerably. We have put new curtains and bedding in all our rooms plus some new furniture. The next thing we are doing is the sheers in each room, As you can appreciate all this can't be done overnight. Look forward to seeing you again.
