The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection
4.2/544 Reviews
I really wanted to give this place a 4 star, but the location of a wedding party opposite my room and the surprising lack of breakfast ( just a box of weetabix and some cookies) made it a little disappointing for me….. That’s a shame as the hotel/pub is a nice place., tranquil (when there is no wedding), a few meters from a great walking path along the coast towards Nelson or Richmond and with a fine pub with good food all on site. The staff are friendly, rooms are clean (if starting to look a little tired) and have most things you could need, even a spa bath! If I was here again however I would investigate the newer and better looking hotel over the road…..

Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel
4.2/542 Reviews
Great location, Staff were lovely, place was dated but tidy. Dinner Restaurant is still closed due to covid. The main reason for the down review is I had booked with a voucher for the first night that included breakfast. I asked for 2 more nights and expected breakfast. When I checked in, I validated it was but when we checked out was told not the case so we paid $69 (2 pax) per day for an avg breakfast that had we known we would have gone elsewhere and paid less. Mgr on duty would not budge or even apologise. Disappointed as I would have rated much higher
Nelson City Top 10 Holiday Park
4.1/560 Reviews
Having a particular standard across each park lets us book with confidence, knowing what we will be getting. The pictures or all angles of the room are very helpful and listing everything included in the room helped immensely. The park was very clean and tidy and the staff were super friendly and helpful.
Palms Motel
4.5/534 Reviews
Excellent service right from booking to stay. We had a family group of seven adults and Robyn organised two side by side units which perfectly suited our situation. All admin staff very friendly and helpful. The units were extremely clean and well appointed for our needs. With a supermarket across the road and a walk of ten minutes into town this was a great position. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
Tuscany Gardens Motor Lodge
4.1/524 Reviews
A clean, tidy unit with everything we needed supplied. Spacious bathroom with fabulous shower. Laundry available. Kind, cheerful staff. Close to great eateries, the beach and the city itself. Highly recommend this motel.
