"We loved this property. It was private and peaceful with a lovely rural outlet and some very cute pet sheep. While near the main homestead the set up and positioning made it private with its own parking area and entranceway. A short walk was a paved track which went down to the beach. Stunning views from the top over the bay. We spent most of our time onsite for the 4 days we were there celebrating a 90th birthday and it was excellent to be able to bring my elderly dad there each day for...

The Hotel Nelson

The Hotel Nelson

10/10 Excellent
"It was a very cold and wet few days in Nelson for us, but we had a good stay at The Hotel Nelson. We booked the 1 bedroom apartment which was a very generously spacious size for 3 adults! It was very cold out, but we got the heating fan cranked up and running and enjoyed the extra blankets for a comfortable stay. Kitchen facilities looked very good if you wanted to self cater. It was clean and comfortable and all good for our needs. Our first night was less wet and we easily walked down to the township and back *Were so lucky to stumble across the Nelson Light Festival that night which was cool! Thank you for the stay."
