We got in late, which was accommodated and had a wonderful night's stay in a clean, quiet, and spacious room. My mom wanted the AC running all night so I was worried I'd be chilly, but the bedding was warm without being overly so. I would gladly stay there again next time I'm in Nelson

Had a very pleasant stay in their family unit. Room was very spacious, with a nicely renovated bathroom. Got a yummy fresh bottle of milk at check-in, which was a pleasant surprise! Walking distance to the playground and beach. The room was in the front facing the main road so despite the double-glazed windows, you can hear trucks. I would request a room in the back if available next time but otherwise, will stay again!
