We were... More

We stayed there for 3 nights 11th, 12th & 13th of January. The 2 bedroom unit was spacious, clean, comfortable & competitively priced. The management were friendly and helpful. Location wise it is close enough to the city centre for a walk.

Very clean & comfortable. In an easy location for town & amenities (v quick walk into main streets of Nelson). Had a good night's sleep - we had a room overlooking a small sports field at the back. Friendly management and we enjoyed our stay.
