Top Natureland Zoo Hotel Reviews

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had dinner and breakfast. Both Meals very high standard and service was impeccable."

Balmoral Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and comfortable unit"

Beaches Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Our sunny, upstairs 1 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. The jet bath and kitchenette were great. There appears to be enough parks for each unit. We were within walking distance to a few restuarants and 3 fast food places. The host made us aware of some road noise in the front units. So if you are a light sleep request a quiet room. The unit was exactly like the photos. We would stay here again."

Arrow Motel Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Recommended."

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."

Tudor Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, within walking distance to restaurants and the beach. We even walked to the airport from the motel."

The Beachcomber Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So convenient to the beautiful Sandy beach and a large selection of activities. Great shopping from Nelson to Richmond. Well priced and very helpful and friendly staff😘"

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable place to stay. Handy to everything."

Arcadia Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly, clean rooms"
