"We loved this property. It was private and peaceful with a lovely rural outlet and some very cute pet sheep. While near the main homestead the set up and positioning made it private with its own parking area and entranceway. A short walk was a paved track which went down to the beach. Stunning views from the top over the bay.
We spent most of our time onsite for the 4 days we were there celebrating a 90th birthday and it was excellent to be able to bring my elderly dad there each day for...

I just stayed here one night on my way from Picton to Franz Joseph. 2 hour car ride from the Ferry. My ferry was late so the staff made arrangements for me get my key as I arrived after hours. Electric blanket was a nice touch.

Kiwis are known for being neat and clean The Palms Motel excelled by being both beautiful and clean motel.The reception people were charming. We had a second floor room which had a balcony with a table and chairs (nice view of the pool).As always in NZ were provided with fresh milk for coffee an enjoyable Kiwi tradition. Nice kitchenette wish we could have stayed a week. Our whole Nelson experience has us interested in returning for an extensive tour of the South Island. Breathtakingly...

Very nice accommodation close to downtown and movie theatre - delicious dinner riverside at the hotel restaurant. Parking was a little tight, street spots are available. Shower was AMAZING! Great water pressure.
FYI : there is no elevator to the second floor if this is an important requirement for your travel, make sure you request a ground floor room.

The room was spotless, had a deep jetted tub, mini kitchen set up, nice TV, brand new bed and suited all our needs.
The innkeepers were delightful.
I needed to do laundry and they had a small but efficient guest laundry. There were also laundry lines and pegs, which was lovely!

Fraser, the owner, was most helpful on what to see in Nelson. He pointed me to The Center of New Zealand. An upward climb to the top but well worth the views.
There's onsite laundry, which was most helpful.

We enjoyed staying here - the room was spacious, as was the kitchenette and bathroom. It's a bit out of town, which is fine if you have a car. It's near the road, so there is some traffic noise, didn't bother us but may bother others.
