Top Wakatu Hotel Reviews

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"good location, helpful staff. Great place to stay"

Century Park Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Century Park Motor Lodge. We booked at the last minute and were only there for one night, but the service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. When they realised my dad has trouble with stairs, they generously moved us to a more suitable unit at no extra charge. It was a small gesture that made a big difference to our stay. The unit was immaculately clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our daughter especially loved relaxing in the spa bath after a day out. The location was also ideal, with shops and attractions just a short drive away. What stood out most was the genuine care and friendliness of the hosts. They made us feel well looked after, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!"

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!"
