Search Chalets in Best Island

Loved the breakfast options. Friendly.

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

We have stayed there twice now and the quality comfort cleanliness and pleasant staff are consistent.. All the important things are there but more importantly there is no skimping on the little stuff .... a vast array of teas and coffees including plunger grounds, laundry powder, laundry facilities in the unit,heated bathroom floor, big bed and the usual welcoming smile

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...

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.

Nice clean room and close to town. The lady on reception was welcoming. Happy for the price paid! Would stay here again if visiting Nelson

Room was great but would of been good to at least have had a microwave. Love that had the restaurant right there. Great food and staff

Friendly staff at reception, large clean room, handy location

Very nice close to the city centre. Nice and quiet nice room warm overall would recommend to others!!!

Located a great deal on hire car for us

We could not fault you in ANY way, everything is as it should be in a first class hotel -, BEAUTIFUL building, classy and tasteful, great staff, service, food and good sized, very comfortable, rooms. Staying at the Rutherford was the icing on our stay in Nelson. Thank you, Rutherford, you are a credit to NZ.

We had an amazing time The beds were super comfy and it’s very clean. We had the room overlooking the football field. The roof had a balcony attached which became my favourite spot. The best part was meeting Fraser. He gave us a super warm welcome and made sure our stay was perfect in every way. While cooking I accidentally dropped and broke the microwave turntable but he replaced it within ten minutes and did not charge us anything extra at all. We are very grateful to him. The motel is...

Great accomodation, great location and great dinning. The bar and restaurant staff were all lovely. One gripe is the parking. Not enough for all guests and if you want a guaranteed parking space you have to pay $15.

The hotel is small, renovated and close to restaurants and cafes. The room, number 16 is large and suited us for a three night stay. We felt very comfortable. However it was an upstairs room. I wouldn’t recommend the lower rooms facing the public carpark due to a lack of privacy curtains. The hotel is still in the process of being renovated but with a few finishing touches, it will be great. It was also very good to be able to use the laundry. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.

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...

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Brilliant view from our room. Dinner at the restaurant was first class.

Great stay. Recommended.

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.

Spacious with separate kitchen. No negatives.
