We stayed in the studio apartment with kitchenette. Basic utilities but exceptionally clean and tidy. Well recommended. Separate toilet and shower rooms finished to a very good standard. Sky tv available and internet .

This is a very conveniently located, nice and clean little motel. The owners are very friendly people and very hepful when it comes to planning the next parts of the trip. Our unit came with a nice little kitchen and a small but clean bathroom with everything one needed.

This small lodge near downtown Nelson was a perfect place to stay for 2 nights on our recent visit. We especially enjoyed meeting the director, Georgina McGrath, and chatting with her. She made us feel very welcome and apologized for the small room we were placed in. We did not mind the slight inconvenience of having a small room, the... More

We have written an earlier review on this accommodation which, for some reason, has not made it onto the website. Although well situated in Nelson, our supposedly king size room was almost filled by the king sized bed, which left almost no room for luggage and movement. The toilet, miniscule wash basin and shower also filled the very small space... More

We stayed one terrifying night at a hostel in town and then stumbled upon this quaint little lodge. Georgina and the man that was working the front(can't remember name) were great hosts. Room was cleaned daily and it is only a couple blocks from town centre. It was only $30 more than the hostel for two of us and we... More

We stayed here twice for 1 night, had 2 different apartments on each occasion, but loved both rooms. Location: 3-5 minute walk from the town center. Ample free car park on the premises. A previous reviewer complained about noise, but we thought the place was very quiet. Reception: very friendly, both the lady as well as the chap on the... More

Although a bit pricey, Trafalgar Lodge was a delightful finding. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. He's obviously very enthusiastic about working in hospitality, as he couldn't stop talking and giving us advices about what to do and see. I still have to thank him for reminding me not to underestimate travel distances in NZ: "You were right, Sir,... More

The manager of the Trafalgar Lodge was extremely helpful in suggesting restaurants and giving ideas of things to do in Nelson. The location is ideal -- a 5 minute walk to the center of town, on a main street but not too noisy. The room was small but comfortable and well appointed. The ensuite was extremely small, but perfectly usable.... More
