I wanted to take my small dog on a night away. There’s not many dog friendly motels available. This was adequate and we enjoyed our night out

Great stay in an excellent location. Had everything we needed, clean and tidy, and friendly and helpful staff. Had the best information folder I've seen anywhere; clearly laid out and easy to read. Especially liked how it showed how far places were from the motel.

In a convient close to city position but quiet. Nice and clean with everything you need. Just a bit of neighbouring unit noise but if you don't mind that the rest is great.

Response from Jon at Riverlodge on 26 Mar 2021
Families in particular love our apartments. The original building is a large, historic villa built in the 1920's. It was reconfigured into two family-size apartments in the 1950s. Interiors are spacious and fresh with updated fixtures. Full kitchens are equipped with everything needed to prepare meals, including an oven. TV's are larger than average (42" or 48") and each apartment has a private carport and patio. Perhaps the anonymous guest was a single professional, here for a recent conference, who booked a family-size apartment in the eleventh hour because, due to a cancellation, it was the only room left in town? We may never know, but I suspect that the guest had completely different needs than a family or group would have, and his/her negative experience is due to a poor fit in accommodation, not a poor apartment.

Convenient,basic accommodation in Nelson.
I arrived early before scheduled check in time. It was a $30NZ taxi ride from the Nelson Airport. The gentleman at reception ( John ?) allowed me to store my backpack there, and also issued me my room key so I could go directly to the room which was to be available an hour later. He also took the time to point out the many galleries, walks, food markets/restaurants on an area map available at the reception counter. The location of the property is just meters from the Collingwood St. bridge over the Waikai river. The location makes everything very easy walking around the CBD Nelson area. The Isite was perhaps a 5 min. travel, as well as the cinema, and several galleries. The food market and manny good restaurants/pubs are all within a 15 min. walk from the room. The room was simple, but had everything I needed for a comfortable 2 night stay. Electric stovetop, refrigerator, a small dining table, an 2 arm chairs. The bed was comfortable, although I had to remove several pillows and a quilt which were not needed..... it seems this is the trend with most hotels nowadays. Also, the room had an abundance of windows, and a skylight which allowed great natural light, and airflow. I seem to think there was a washing machine available, which I did not need to use, but I may be mistaken . Overall, I had a great stay, and would recommend staying here if you are seeking a convenient location in Nelson for simple accommodation.

This is an older property. Location is great. So close to everything. We stayed in the family apartment. It was older with some wear and tear but very spacious, clean and comfortable. We liked staying here and would stay again. We loved that they had heated blankets and lots of heaters to combat the cold.
