Great stay and friendly staff. Having to carry luggage to second floor was tough. Also, would not recommend the breakfast. Our fruit was prepackaged and the yogurt was expired by almost a month.

Great room with good modern decor, certainly a step up from the standard motel offering in NZ. Also loved the additional communal kitchen if you need more than the microwave in the room. Parking was a bit of a pain during the day because a lot of non-guests appear to use the car park and it's not policed.

A very nice room, although was surprised no fan in the bathroom. A reasonably good location, and everything was very clean. Had a bit of noise around my room, although not from the front door which was very quiet.

Nice Convenient Accomodation
Nice accommodation outside of Nelson city centre. Great location with plenty of restaurants in walking distance. It was a good base for my day trip to Abel Tasman NP.

Although we only stayed one night, this motel was lovely. Tucked off of a main street, it was walkable to dining and cafes. It also provided convenient parking. Perfect for our needs.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We stayed almost three weeks. If you are looking for beach views, they aren't here. We toured around the area so we saw lots of views. Very convenient area because the mall is close. Also bus service is close. I would stay here again if I had a chance.

Convenient location
Our studio room was supper clean and nicely renovated. The bed was a bit soft and our room alittle dark but for the price it was worth it. There was a communal kitchen and bbk area which was an added bonus. The motel is conveniently located in the center of Richmond with 2 amazing Restaurants on cite.
