    We received really lovely customer service from Yuki - thank you. Comfy bed, super clean and cosy - a great place to stay and the undercover parking was appreciated. We felt very welcome on our short stay at Riverlodge Motel.

    Best Motor lodge we have stayed at. Not only was it quiet which is something a lot of motor lodges fail to be. But it also had the best coffee I’ve managed to find since we started travelling from Auckland. The spar bath was just brilliant. Had a few such spar baths over the previous 3 weeks and this was hands down the best. Parking was good. Distance to centre and shops was a short walk. Staff were great. Very much worth staying here. Just make sure you get the spar bath room :)

    The room was extremely clean and comfortable. Dean the owner was very personable and made sure we were comfortable and felt at home. The lodge was a short walk into the centre of town with different restaurants and sights.

    Spacious 2 bedroom lodge like house on the side of a hill in North Nelson. Super quiet with a gorgeous night sky. We stayed in the largest unit that had a full kitchen and laundry plus a large living room. A comfortable stop for the 4 of us after the bustle of Wellington. Stayed after taking the ferry to Picton and then driving through wine country. Mark is a great host!

    The lodge was located right on the harbor, which offered very nice walking and views from your door. It also was isolated from the town bustle which was a big plus. The free breakfast was excellent too. Next door was an excellent restaurant to chill out at the end of your day.

    Riverlodge motel is situated just a few minutes walk from Nelson town centre. The room was sizable and on the first floor which meant some heavy lifting of luggage. There were a few cars in the car park already so we decided to leave the car on the road outside. We had a meal in the town so other than tea and breakfast didn’t make extensive use of the facilities which were more than adequate for a one night stay.

    Chelsea Park Motor Lodge is located in a great part of Nelson, very close to many restaurants in the main part of town. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I needed to do a load of washing after returning from a 5 day kayak in the Abel Tasman National park but also had to meet friends for dinner so the staff put my washing in the dryer and then put the dried clothes into my room. I was very impressed. I will be staying here again
