We were two couples so this place was a good value as it had two and three bedroom units. It is located next to a college campus and the rooms are spacious, clean and modern in their design and furnishings. We only stayed one night but could have easily been comfortable their for a longer stay. Our unit had a... More

if you live here for a long time in this place, so you have to keep track of their rent, save all receipts, otherwise they can happen that they forget to enter it in the system, and you get a complaint! You can hear neighbors very well,

We stayed here on the first night of our South Island trip with another couple. The apartments are modern and in a great location. For $150 we got a 2 bedroom apartment with a double bed and 2 singles. The beds are very comfy. Thoroughly recommend to anyone

Place was comfortable and handy to town. Ideal if you only want a bed for the night. Only real problem was that we arrived late at night and the windows were wide opne (third floor) so took a while to heat the place up.

This is a student apartment housing which they rent out during the summer seasons to tourists. The location is great, smack in the middle of town and walking distance to all you would want to see in Nelson. The price is also great; we paid 95 NZD per night, probably the cheapest I can find given its location in Nelson.... More

My wife and I stumbled across Nikau by chance due to lack of availability of all other Backpacker/Budget accomodation in Nelson. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Although we arrived after the reception opening hours, the host Jacqui was happy to come and meet us after hours. The self contained accommodation, whilst small, easily accommodated a double... More

The lady who manages these apartments is extremely friendly and willing to assist with any questions etc. The fully self contained apartments are located in a great location. They are mostly rented to students with others rented to the public. Wouldn't hesitate in staying again and great value for money.
