Nautilus is a lovely property with quick access to Abel-Tasman National Park, grocery, restaurants/pubs and shopping! Both of our 2 reserved rooms were large, clean & quiet with very comfortable beds. Fluffy bathroom towels were hung on a heated towel rack. Kitchenette included cooktop, microwave, frig and was fully stocked with lots of serving plates/cups and cookware. Balcony was a nice bonus for private relaxation. Free on-site car parking. Owners are very welcoming and strive to provide guests with a great experience. Several wonderful dining choices nearby. The EG Eatery offers an extraordinary menu in a romantic atmosphere. The Sprig & Fern is perfect for beer selection and pub food. Carpe Diem!

Clean and comfortable hotel with good access to Abel Tasman National Park. Not that many dining options in town so best to eat in Nelson before checking in. But solid choice for a hotel in this town

We had a lovely stay, the owners couldn’t do enough to help, we booked for a second night and they rejigged things so that we could stay in our room. It’s on the state highway but the noise wasn’t noticeable at night.
