Lovely, clean, comfortable and cosy. The staff were so helpful - stored my bag while I was doing a bike tour and arranged a safe place to store my bike when I returned. Very convenient location close to the airport, for packing up all my gear and getting to the airport in the morning.

Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

The apartment motels are all new, clean and spacious. Linen, kitchen accessories all new! They are in an excellent position overlooking the bay area, so quiet and peaceful, (though it is under the flight path for Nelson Airport). Each motel has a front porch and a back garden area with seating. Though quite pricey, it's an excellent spot.

Everything in the rooms is really considered. Excellent layout. Very clean. Staff were incredibly friendly. I had coffee and breakfast in the morning both of which were really good too, surprisingly so because sometimes that can be a bit of a let down in a hotel. Nelson has some excellent coffee spots and this was just as good as anywhere.

We were thrilled with the location, just a short stroll into town! We enjoyed a cosy night in with pizza, watching the rugby on the enormous TV. In the morning, we sipped coffee in the sunshine on our terrace before heading out for a big hike. The Sails Nelson was incredibly clean, and we felt very well looked after. Highly recommend!"

We chose the hotel for its proximity to Nelson Airport; we were able to walk. Plenty of parking, pub and restaurant on site. We enjoyed our meals. Also, we were provided with some basic breakfast provisions which was handy before our early morning flight.
