Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

Lots of great restaurants, some with water views.

Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

The staff helped with every inquiry concerning where we wanted to go. The Hotel was very close to the Hospital which we had to go to each day and the room was large and comfortable so it made it easier to come back to after emotional hospital visit. So enjoyed our time will book the Motor Inn again the next time we return to Nelson

The location was superb in the middle of town. My flight to Nelson was delayed so I was late arriving and the hotel was prepared for that. The room was very clean, comfortable and luxurious

Reception staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is in a good location for Nelson & the surrounding areas. Room was a decent size, with a reasonable kitchenette for basic cooking.
