Last stop Nelson

We stayed at the Century Park Motor Lodge on the last two nights of a two-week tour of the South Island. It was the perfect luxury stop, to finish off our holiday. The Motor Lodge was very well located, walking distance to all the central restaurants and bars, as well as being a short drive to the airport. When we arrived, we were welcomed by a very friendly owner who could not have been more helpful with places to eat, places to visit and he gave us a tour of our room. The room was very comfortable and spacious and provided everything we needed. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Nelson.
