The room was very clean with nice little touches like a bottle of milk in the fridge and biscuits for tea. The location was great and close to a lot of amenities, including a short drive to the beach. We loved our stay here.

This place was a gem. Now I didn't need it to be close to anything because I had a car and was using this a place to relax and lay my head. But for the price and space, it exceeded my expectations. And the staff was super helpful and attentive as well.

Yuki is easy to deal with, the location of the motel is opposite to the river. Our parking is a little bit small but really appreciate the free parking provided by the motel.

Riverlodge motel is situated just a few minutes walk from Nelson town centre. The room was sizable and on the first floor which meant some heavy lifting of luggage. There were a few cars in the car park already so we decided to leave the car on the road outside. We had a meal in the town so other than tea and breakfast didn’t make extensive use of the facilities which were more than adequate for a one night stay.
