The bed is huge. The washing machine and dryer work perfectly. It was quiet. The smal balcony is great for having drinks or a meal outside.

We are a family of three, parents with a teenager, staying here for two nights. Our room has an outdoor table and four chairs, so we had our take-outs in the second evening and enjoyed the fantastic panoramic view. The location is at the end of an uphill. It's very quiet. We really loved the atmosphere during sunrise and sunset.

Good location in terms of access to downtown, Tahunanui beach in Nelson and nearby wineries. Also enjoyed eating in the restaurant and greatly appreciated the receptionist helping when car park appeared full on arrival. Also a great base to venture out to Abel Tasman and Cable Bay

Beaches Nelson receives high praise for its outstanding hospitality and amenities. The reception lady was exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring a warm welcome upon arrival. The clean and spacious unit, complete with a relaxing spa bath and a charming balcony, contributed to a lovely stay. Despite its location on a main road, the motel was remarkably quiet at night, adding to the overall tranquility of the experience.

Dinner in the restaurant was very good. Central location within walking distance of downtown and several interesting sites, like the Queen’s Garden.
