From the moment we checked in to the time we checked out we could not fault any part of our stay. We booked two rooms for a party of four, one of which has mobility issues. We were accommodated to the fullest but were also given rooms next to each other and close to the entrance of the hotel which seems like a small thing but actual meant a great deal. The rooms were clean and warm and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is pretty great too - 5 minutes walk away from Tahunanui...

Our stay at Saxton Lodge couldn't be better. The managers David & Desma were wonderful, always present, extremely helpful and very accommodating - the ultimate "good sort".
Rooms are large, well equipped with decent bathroom/showers, heat pump/air conditioning, glass double glazed to prevent noise from the main road, rooms in general were very quiet, you couldn't hear any noise from adjoining rooms or the road when windows are closed (or you can open them up for fresh air which would be great...

This is a nice, clean and well-maintained motel. It is well positioned, close to the beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He gave us an excellent explanation about all of the attractions around the area with recommendations for what to do and where to eat. We will stay there again when we are in Nelson.

We had the family 2 bedroom unit which was a great size, had everything we needed and more. We were glad of the AC as it was a warm day and the spa bath was a bonus too

After driving from Picton in the heavy rain it was nice to arrive at my Nelson motel. Check in was fast and it was great to unpack in my comfortable room. The next morning was sunny and I did the PIC’S Peanut butter factory tour at 10am. This is only a 10 minute drive from the motel and free, but must be booked online beforehand. After the tour I went next door to Pomeroys for a coffee and bought some of their Cranberry and Carot Tea before driving to Westport.

Wow what a beautiful stay for us. The cottage was amazing, full of unique treasures, Mark & John the perfect hosts. I say this was the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. 🙂

It had everything we needed, was close to cafes, bars & restaurants. Lots of nice little touches throughout. Very comfy bed, & the suite felt plush & cosy. Will definitely stay there again & highly recommend to anyone going to Nelson.
