We stayed for two nights and were really impressed with the accommodation and facilities. The complimentary continental breakfast was appreciated as was the April $10 cooked breakfast special. The room was beautifully presented, clean and had a really comfortable bed. We chose a room overlooking the courtyard but would definitely go for one overlooking the marina next time for the... More

We live in the North Island and we were nearing the end of one of our frequent enjoyable tours of the South when we booked two nights at the Harbourside Motor Lodge as a result of looking at the internet which made the place sound very appealing. It was the first motel that we had ever visited when there was... More

My husband & I stayed for 3 nights over Easter. We had a ground floor room (our choice) which looked out to the lovely marina. Room was fresh & clean, lots of room & we enjoyed sitting outside with our wine & nibbles at the little table & chairs off our room. We loved the quiet area - only an... More

The view over the marina gives this motel it's unique difference. I loved it, helped of course by gorgeous summer weather. We found the receptionist pleasant and helpful, and the complementary breakfast welcome. The room was spacious enough and the furnishings were of a high standard. I can imagine the location may not be suitable if you do not have... More

We stayed for 2 nights while we explored the Nelson region. The Harbourside was in a lovely quiet location. Excellent facilities and service, friendly helpful management and the complimentary breakfasts and paper were a real bonus Handy to town and easy to access from the busy main road.

Both receptionists were first class. On ringing initially to book the room I received a warm and helpful service. On our arrival I mentioned what are plans were for the next few days and straight away help was on hand to help us with our requirements. The room was spacious with balconies overlooking the harbour. The only disappointment was that... More

We stared just the one night in July, but could easily have stayed longer. Check in was by remote as arrived between winter opening hours for the office. But there was a note left for us in an obvious place. We arrived in pouring rain and a big wind. It would have been useful to have a diagram of where... More

Stayed here just one night before heading to sea. Room had a nice sized balcony and outlook over the marina. Everything was tidy and comfortable and the breakfast was cooked to order. Staff very friendly. Internet was inadequate and expensive, but this seems to be the norm in NZ accommodation. The Anchor restaurant is only a few metres away and... More

This motel's location makes a change from the usual main road drag-strip: it's in the harbourfront area of Nelson, a short walk from the centre of town. The views out many of the windows are of the yachts in the harbour, and it's surprisingly quiet. There's a good, complimentary continental breakfast - which few motels in NZ offer - and... More
