Outstanding

The hotel is located in the small town of New Zealand, Nelson (not too small in New Zealand, with a population of 70,000). Although it is a motel but the environment is very good, the room facilities are well equipped, can cook, have a jacuzzi, very good

The room is a tree house built on the hillside, two floors up and down. The scenery is super beautiful. The room is also comfortable. Check in is convenient and fast. Very good experience.

The room was clean and tidy, the outdoor view was good, the room was very comfortable, the location was good, and there was a small swimming pool outdoors. The service is also very warm and thoughtful. The only downside is that under the aircraft channel, there will be sound when the plane flies, but Nielsen didn't have many planes, and the impact was not too big.

The owner Harry was very good and friendly. Room was clean and modern. Basic cooking amenities provided. Pots and pans. Only comment is the shower curtain should be longer to avoid shower water spread all over the toilet

Nice welcome friendly and helpful when enquiring about things, not happy with wifi constantly fading and their answer was “ tried to get it fixed but ? “ on website they offer airport drop offs but don’t due to complaints from the local cabbies so why still advertise this !!! And finally when dropping off key on checkout didn’t ask how our stay was or anything so not happy with the service.
