The Wood Holidays from NZ$515

We had a good stay. The Cleanliness was ok. We could park our motorbikes on the property and there are a lot of cool shops nearby. In the kitchen wasn’t that much space for our stuff.

The staff were helpful and the motel was very clean. Recommend.

Great staff, very friendly, nice place to stay, no problem extending booking due to weather issues.

Unfortunately, we were only here for about 5 hours as we decided to check out early and return to Christchurch due to a red weather warning. However, the place seemed well equipped and spotless with plenty of parking available. There was demolition taking place next door, though I cannot comment on morning noise I can imagine the nearby main road and construction would be quite noisy. We did try to ask reception staff on their opinion regarding the red weather warning (we’re from the UK so didn’t know how serious it was). The young chap on reception seemed oblivious to the government warning and said he wouldn’t know where to check to get advice - something that baffles me considering they are in hospitality and it was all over the national news. We made the right decision as by the next morning all the roads back to Christchurch were closed and many areas had lost power. The Christchurch hotel we stayed at issued a warning to all guests to stay inside during the warning, they ensured we had this information by posting a print out under our door. Very much in contrast to the Nelson hotel. The hotel seems like it could be a good, clean option for a night or two if you need to stay in Nelson.
