We really enjoyed our stay at Century Park Motor Lodge. We booked at the last minute and were only there for one night, but the service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. When they realised my dad has trouble with stairs, they generously moved us to a more suitable unit at no extra charge. It was a small gesture that made a big difference to our stay. The unit was immaculately clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our daughter especially loved relaxing in the spa bath after a day out. The location was also ideal, with shops and attractions just a short drive away. What stood out most was the genuine care and friendliness of the hosts. They made us feel well looked after, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!

My wife and I stayed one night at the motel and thought it was great. Very stylish and clean. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of surfaces for us to spread out and also to eat food we had brought. We arrived much later than expected, but Harry was extremely welcoming anyway. I had sprained my ankle on a hike that afternoon, and Harry was so thoughtful and genuinely concerned about me. If we’re ever in Nelson again, we definitely will stay with him.

Rooms were spotless and modern. The reception area needed a good brush out and clean from cobwebs in the windows and on the floor, which had me worried at check-in, but this wasnt reflected in the room we stayed in which was very tidy. Great location a short 5 min.walk from town and restaurants

The room was modern, quiet, very clean and well equipped. Even better, the owner/manager, Harry and his young son were always present and eager to please! The location was great! It was possible to walk to restaurants in a great part of town. We’re so glad we picked Century Park for our quick 2 night stay. We would love to return!!
