Top Wakatu Hotel Reviews

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Huge room that was very clean and modern. Very quiet for goods night rest. Always a great place to stay"

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed Sails! Good location, It was close to everything, but far enough away that you didnt get late night revellers or early morning walkers - less than 5min walk to the city centre, less than 2min walk to an awesome walking path. Room amenities were awesome - coffee pod or plunger, as well the normal sachets you expect to find, there was actual loose leaf tea and a decent tea pot to use or again the normal tea bags you find everywhere. Would definitely recommend Sails"

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good

"Initially I had a bit of trouble as I arrived after reception closed, and used the wrong entrance. Although it was the address that was listed. Possibly listing both street entrances would help. Fortunately two very helpful staff were around and straightened everything out. The lack of information may have been my own doing as I received an email from expedia saying the accommodation had sent me a message. However it was too much mucking around to access due to login, account, passwords etc. A direct email would be have been far better and possibly saved some confusion at check in. This did not detract from facility or the enjoyment of our stay."

The Beachcomber Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Beachcomber Motel, Nelson. The room was very tidy and exceptionally clean, making it a comfortable place to relax. It’s in a quiet location and only a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for enjoying daily walks. We really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!"
