"The Bronte Estate is a hidden gem where modern comforts meet the kind of quaint style that's become hard to find anywhere in the world these days. Our plush, comfortable, calming villa was a treat after days on the road, stocked with regional wines and fresh-picked apples from the property orchard. Surrounding the estate are beautiful gardens with hidden footpaths to plum and peach trees, a tree swing, salt water pool and vine-covered gazebos—just some of the discoveries to be made when walking...

"Wonderful restful lodge across from Motueka River with mountains beyond. Chere Harris is a great host. She fed us great breakfasts and also made a salad and purchased mussels so that we could cook the rest.
Couldn't recommend more highly!"

"A warm welcome from motelliers have pride in their accommodation and this is reflected in the tidy and cleanliness of the very comfortable rooms.
A historic police station with great character; the rooms are tastefully decorated in a modern manner but consistent with the building."

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...

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

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.

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...

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.

Staff were lovely and helpful, rooms clean and a good size for a family. Short walk to a number of eateries. Laundry available. If you're lucky you'll meet the very smoochy motel cat.
