Clean and comfortable! Great location, close to supermarkets. Very friendly and welcoming.

Derek was exceptional - I accidentally left an item behind and he brought it to me.
Have stayed here several times. Great location for what we wanted to do in the area

Such a cosy and comfortable room. We stayed in the garden room and it was beautiful, spacious and quiet. Definitely be back!
We came to chech in after office closing hours, the arrangements were smooth. The room exceeded our expectations: functional kitchenette with well equipped utensils, fresh milk and dark chocolate in fridge. Very clean room. We could have latter checkout by request the next day.
The tv screen is over the door that makes our neck sore to enjoy the free sky tv
It was lovely and clean and the owner was so friendly.
There was nice quality teas and coffee and chocolate
Warm welcome from the owner ,imaliculate room, loved the biscuits and chocolate. Great pub for dinner just across the street.
That we only stayed one night. Nothing really.
Absolutely lovely, this motel has everything for a cozy and comfortable stay. Great attention to details, clean and modern room. Would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful property, staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Cleanliness, quietness, location, well stocked tea & coffee, extra touch like biscuits, chocolates, make-up removal wipes
Nothing i can think of
Great locality to airport and town
Great location for our event we were attending
Nice plunger coffee, real milk in a bottle chilled in the fridge, non-white make-up removing flannel, complementary chocolate, biscuit and mints, comfy bed, easy-to-operate heat pump and afternoon sun streaming in. Staff friendly and efficient.
Room a bit compact, but not to taint the stay at all.
The motel was in a great location, close to awesome restaurants, rabbit island, and other attractions you want to pay a visit to. The room itself was incredibly cozy and clean with a comfy bed and useful kitchen amenities (plus the milk and dark chocolate left in the fridge for us by the owners were an added bonus!). Lastly, the owners were so kind and sweet with the most handsome cat. My partner and I enjoyed our stay here thoroughly and will book again the next time in the area.
Nothing negative to say at all.
The owner was friendly and prompt. Very accommodating and kind. Even made sure we could stay an extra night when the weather turned and we couldn't get back home right away.
There was nothing bad about the property or the owner/staff that I can think of.
Friendly lovely man greeted us and waved us off. Room was perfect. Such a friendly place and Excellent location for what we needed
Nothing. It was perfect
Staff are great so helpful and friendly. Has everything you need, close to supermarket and cafes.

Clean, friendly owner, very good customer service
Everything was superb. The location was so convenient with walking distance to restaurants supermarkets. Derek the owner was so friendly and helpful. The lovely touches of the chocolates and filtered coffee just made my stay extra special.
Great location, perfect for my needs
Perfect little motel. Anything you could wish for in a motel is here. Don't let the location put you off, no street noise at all.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Way above expectations. The room was spotless and the attention to detail was immaculate. It had everything I needed and more in the kitchen and bathroom. There are many takeaway food options nearby which were very convenient for dinner.
2nd time here & will be back. Comfy bed, clean & tidy.
The bed was extremely comfortable & the linen was superb - right up with the best. Kitchenette a good bonus. Having scissors was great too. TV had a lot of channels if you wanted to watch it. Easy walk to cafes & supermarkets too.
A sitting chair. A stool is provided but not comfy to sit on. I’d love a little body lotion also but that is not a deal breaker.
Comfy bed, friendly, quiet
Super clean motel with comfy bed and good facilities. A number of restaurants nearby for dining options, plus a large supermarket. Very helpful friendly host who was kind enough to drive me to the airport next morning at no extra charge.
Nothing at all to dislike. Although I had been allocated an upstairs unit, it was no trouble to the owners to change it to a ground floor room for my convenience.

There was nothing we didn't like
It was really clean the bed was just so comfy soo perfect were it is easy to walk around wish I had stayed longer the man that was there was soo lovely and friendly
Nothing was all great
Very comfortable and quiet location. Good host's and friendly atmosphere
I dropped my key at the gym and the guys at the desk were very understanding. Thank you and I’m sure that key will have been recoverable?
We stayed here for a night before our Abel Tasman hike and it was absolutely ideal. Derek was super helpful and communicative, even though we had a group arriving earlier than we originally anticipated. The rooms had everything we needed and there were supermarkets, hardware stores and dining/drinking options within walking distance which was perfect because we didn't have a car
Lovely, clean, comfortable accomodation.
The cleanliness, the entire room and its amenities, the little treats was a bonus. A standout was Derek's immediate rectifying my check-in date just the day before my arrival when I realized that I have incorrectly selected and booked another date.
Window overviewing scenic mountain. Surrounding not crowded. Manager is very attentive.
There is a nearby bar/cafe giving out very very loud and continuous noice especially from our first evening (a Friday) till the next days
Beautifully clean. Good parkin. Near Supermarkets. Lovely hosts.
I did miss an easychair to sit in
Great place. Owners very nice and our room exceeded our expectations. Very much enjoyed our stay and will def use it again next time we are in Nelson.
Établissement paraissant récent, logement propre et fonctionnel.
Actually, it is not the motel's fault. It is because the motel has an extremely noisy neighbour, named "Turf Hotel", a BAR. It is just on the opposite side of the road. It started with the tremendous noise at 10 pm. I called the noise control of Nelson council. However, it was useless. I stood outside from 10:49 pm to 00:13 am to see if anyone would come to do the noise control job; unfortunately, nobody came. By the way, I have called the noise control 3 or 4 times, and I had the noise records on my phone; it was too loud, especially on quiet weekend nights. It was cold outside, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I had to go back to the room. The window was closed, the door was closed, and I used the duvet to cover my head and ears. I still can hear the very loud and rhythmic drums. Hmmm, they must feel like they are the best. But it is a nightmare for me. They didn't finish until 1:00 am. I don't think it was due to the noise control. It was just because they were tired. I am here not for fun. For my kid and me, we were here for some serious reasons, and we need high-quality sleep to achieve our goal the next day. Unfortunately, it was screwed. I asked about the room's quietness, and the answer was yes. I think the motel didn't realise they had such a neighbour; even the traffic noise can't drown out their noise. In conclusion, the motel is definitely a nice place to live. But you don't know when the noisy neighbour will show them off. For me, it is a red flag. I won't book this motel again if the neighbour is always there.
Comfy beds, good ammenties
Very comfortable room and very friendly manager who found us a better and much more quiet room when the one we had been initially allocated proved to be very noisy due to street work in the evening.
The first room was very noisy and it is very small
Very cleverly designed to maximise room size. Lots of little touches and very clean.
Not app
The room space was a bit cramped, and having to lug suitcases up a steep staircase was unexpected
Great location, really friendly staff
We had trouble with the power in the room but it was sorted out quickly so not a problem
I have stayed at this property a couple of times now and will continue to come back. The service is always fantastic, the property is lovely and clean with comfortable beds.
Convenient location in the centre of Stoke.
Upstairs was less than ideal, and when we returned at 9pm the hall lights were not working.
Lovely and private. Helpful owner.
Nothing
The toilet was so low. My husband is a tall guy. The rubbish bin was under the sink next to the toaster. Was an OK stay but hardly Boutique
It's a .little dated now but v comfortable, tidy and clean. Had all the facilities we require d.
Nothing
Great location handy to beach, town, parks, and airport. Very obliging host and immaculate rooms. Great stay, we will be back.
Nothing - it was excellent value
Comfortable beds and lovely touches such as complimentary chocolates and real milk in the fridge. Super clean and a helpful host.
Very friendly reception. Convenient to a good pub for a meal and a laundrette close by. Also close to a historic home with lovely gardens to walk in. We stayed here before and after a trip into Abel Tasman National Park. Worked well.
Clean room, Nice hospitality by the team, Tasty chocolate
The jacuzzi was small, Had a bit of noise in the morning from outside
