Excellent staff, convenient location. Spacious unit.
A bit outdated but all amenities worked
I travel a lot for business and am very thankful to have found this gem. The hosts are amazing, it’s super clean and tidy and has everything you need, plus some. Like the extra bathroom mirror! The beds are super comfortable and the price is great.
Nothing.
Great accommodation, super friendly hosts that went out of their way to make our stay as great as possible. Brilliant location and facilities, would 100% recommend Acadia for anyone looking for accommodation in Nelson
Friendly, helpful staff and close to beach area and eateries.
Spotless apartment which was well serviced, friendly owner and large comfy beds. Couldn't ask for more. Great stay
So clean, great location, friendly staff, good facilities like a heat pump and a great kitchen. All for a super cheap price
The room was clean and comfortable and warm with a heat pump.. Small kitchen with basic essentials. Bonus of a spa bath big enough for 2. Location was good. Walking distance to several take away restaurants.
Shower over the bath. Nearest supermarket requires car.
need bigger tvs
Friendly service, due to weather I was able to check in early, clean tidy comfortable rooms, very nice beds everything you need at a reasonable price,great location to beach and easy walk to many services. Very good hosts
The place was spotless.. had all we needed for a 2 day stay
The planes flying over are so close and very noisy.. to be expected next to the airport
Super friendly Staff! The room was warm, cozy and clean. The location was handy to restaurants etc.
The owners were a lovely couple, who couldn't do enough to help. The unit and facilities were spotless. The location was easy by car to shopping centres and city centre.
Nothing.
Everything! Loved the room, the facilities, comfort and staff. The location was great to and handy to explore the region.
Nothing - it was awesome

Clean and good beds and linen
Spacious, comfortable
Bathroom very dated
Very very clean, nice friendly host/manager
Very clean. Unfortunately further out of Nelson than I realised when booking. A little noisy near the airport, but very clean and great shower.
Very good owners of Motel
Nothing all good
Location was great, bed very comfy. Kitchen facilities are very good. The unit look like it had been recently done up.
Would love to have stay longer
Facilities were clean. Bed was soft but not too soft, and was large & comfortable. Owner was friendly. Kitchen had everything you need.
It was a bit noisy. Though late evening & early morning everyone was considerate and were quiet.
我的背包落在公交车上了,热心的老板帮助打电话帮我寻找,还送我去公交站取包裹,非常感谢!
Incredibly clean, well appointed room with everything you need. Good parking at your door and close to beach, as well as only about 5km from central Nelson. Hosts incredibly friendly and provided information about local places to visit, as well as details about the market. Would definitely stay here again.
Didn't bother us but good to be aware that it's on the flight path for the nearby airport. However, last flight is quite early at night and you don't really notice the planes after a while.
Great host .
Excellent . So immaculate. Totally recommend
Easy access to town and restaurants, and off road parking.
Proprietor was exceptionally helpful. Spotlessly clean.
Needs more hooks and rails in bathrooms and bedrooms. Nowhere to hang things. Under the airport flight path.
Wayne kindly stored our luggage for several days prior to our stay. He made us feel very welcome on arrival and we very much appreciated his thoughtfulness in putting us in a spa room. It was perfect after several days of cycling and hiking.
The only downside was the proximity to the airport which obviously meant planes flying close but the last plane of the evening was 9.45 and the first of the morning around 6 am. It was very quiet between these times
Great location with clean spacious rooms
It was fantastic
Friendly, welcoming host. Close to airport. Clean and comfortable.
Nil
Really friendly owner who knew about the area. Great location with easy access.
Comfy unit
Nothing really
Super motel situated close to the local beach and parkland. Easy drive into Nelson and out into surrounding area. Lovely welcome from the owner. Great place to stay - spacious, comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean. Very highly recommend The Arcadia Motel.0
Helpfull and Friendly owners
We chose the location to break up a long drive. Staff very friendly, accommodation comfortable & kitchen had everything we needed to cook diner.
Very conveniently located to the Airport
Masser af plads. Virkelig gode senge. Rent og pænt. Wang, værten,var så sød og imødekommende.
Poolen er mindre end billederne viser, synes vi. Den var dog stadig dejlig
Location is great quiet and relaxing. Booking in was simple and easy the owner was helpful and very friendly enjoyed the friendly banter great atmosphere thanks for a great stay, will stay there again
Nothing to complain about
Loud oven clock, room smelt of a strong smell, maybe someone had smoked in it and they had sprayed something to remedy it.
Sehr freundliches Besitzerehepaar, schöner, sonniger Balkon, Backofen und sehr gute Küchenausstattung, extrem sauber, Backblech mit Alufolie ausgelegt. An alles gedacht. In 15 Minuten zu Fuß am traumhaften Strand mit Karibikfeeling
Very friendly and accommodating and helpful in all respects. The unit was clean and comfortable with AC on a hot day. The pool was lovely.
I had no complaints.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming, everything was great from the accomodation itself, the pool is great and well thought out with bbq and lounge beds etc, Parking is fantastic and onsite laundry for ease. Well maintained and clean, cosy and safe :)
Everything was fantastic! No complaints
Great customer service and location. Thanks Wayne
N/a
We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay here - very tidy and clean, comfortable beds. Laundry facilities for a small fee. Quiet sleeping, near the airport but no disturbance overnight. Such friendly hosts, making us feel at home. Great location to the stunning beach, fun activities (go carts, water bumper boats etc), Nelson city a good walk (about 6kms). Cafes, bars and restaurants just a short walk away (1km). Very happy to come and stay here next time we are in Nelson.
Very clean tidy and modern apartment
Close to Tahunanui beach
Our unit was clean and the bed was so comfortable. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Would really recommend this motel and would stay here again. We stayed in Studio room with spa bath.
