The Sails Nelson

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent
"This was honestly the best place we stayed in South Island. We stayed at places double/triple the price and this one was still the best. It was extremely clean, room extremely comfortable and spacious (the comfiest bed we have ever slept on) and the staff was extremely accommodating. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone passing through or visiting Nelson!"

Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Wakatu hotel for you.
How can I save on a Wakatu hotel booking with Expedia?
One Key™ - Expedia's free travel rewards program - gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Wakatu hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings.

*OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo.
How much is the nightly rate at a Wakatu hotel?
Hotel prices in Wakatu often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
