Harbourside Motor Lodge — Hotel in Nelson

We stayed in the disability wheelchair friendly unit (5 I think) for 1 night as we were wrapping up our road trip of the South Island. The hotel staff is friendly and tries to be helpful. They allowed us a late checkout which we appreciated. The included breakfast was also appreciated. We had to bring our breakfast to our room since the breakfast room was upstairs and my wheelchair confined wife could not climb the stairs. The grab bat for the toilet is on the right side. The roll in shower could mean issues for some travelers. The motel had a fold down shower bench but it was mounted on the same wall as the shower controls. To use the bench would mean the user would be faced opposite and away from the shower controls. Don't know if there is a way to remount the bench on a side wall which would give the user a reasonable chance to use the controls. For us though, it was not an issue as we brought our own shower stool so we could bypass the installed shower bench. Overall, though, we found the motel met our needs very well. Our room overlooked the harbor which was nice. There is not much else around the motel so a car would be very helpful to an...

As the name suggests you are right on the water when you stay here. Our room was sparklingly clean and fresh when we arrived. Features are a comfy king size bed and really big bathroom with detachable shower head in the shower.

Block out curtains also blocked out the fresh air and with the curtains open there was not much privacy when others went by on the balcony.. alternatively we could have just used the ac unit and closed the curtains|The location was just a few minutes drive to the centre of Nelson|Staff are very friendly and helpful|There is a washer and dryer are fresh water to top up and encourage reusing water bottles|Would stay again but opt for a...

We stayed here the nights before and after a 2 night trip away at Abel Tasman National Park. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and let us keep valuables in their safe and store luggage with them whilst we were away. We were allocated different rooms on each of the nights, a Courtyard Studio at first, and then a Harbourview Studio when we returned. Both were comfortable and spacious with a nice little area for food preparation. In the Harbourview it was particularly nice to have a small balcony where we could relax in the evening overlooking the harbour. Everywhere is exceptionally clean. It is a little way out of the town, however, there is a nice riverside walk which will take you there in 10/15 minutes. It was also great to have a continental breakfast included, with a good selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, toasting breads, jams...
