Quest Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, in walking distance to the shopping centre. Jake in reception was incredible, helping us with a booking problem. He was extremely welcoming and a wonderful asset to Quest."

Beaches Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Our sunny, upstairs 1 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. The jet bath and kitchenette were great. There appears to be enough parks for each unit. We were within walking distance to a few restuarants and 3 fast food places. The host made us aware of some road noise in the front units. So if you are a light sleep request a quiet room. The unit was exactly like the photos. We would stay here again."

Saxton Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good staff and good service. Wonderful accommodation"
