This was part of a longer trip for us, a road trip of the South Island, What a wonderful gem we found. All the staff were lovely, the room facilities were more than we thought, the breakfast room was lovely, Even though we might never visit this area again (we are from the UK) we would definately recommend to our friends wanting to visit the area. Thank you for a lovely stay xxx

The location is ideal - a 20 minute walk into town or the same along the coast to the fantastic Boat shed Restaurant. The bed was extremely comfortable and the views of the harbour excellent. A friendly host too

Well worth staying here

A very nice hotel located at the side of the marina. The room was spacious and comfortable although I would have preferred a harder mattress. There’s a restaurant within 100 yards, but we preferred to take a 20 minute walk into town where there is a wider choice.

An older hotel but completely modernized. Fantastic staff, clean and very comfortable room, wonderful complimentary breakfast. I also liked that it’s away from the busy streets coming into Nelson and close enough but also far enough away from the CBD. I’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent value

We only stayed for one night so obviously didn't get aroom with a view but nevertheless I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. The property is in a strange part of town for a hotel but we easily walked the 19mins to the cinema then restaurant. Our room was clean, the bed was very comfy. We were given milk on arrival. The breakfast that's included was absolutely perfect- muesli,yoghurt,fruit for us ,plus juice, coffee and asliceof toast. You serve yourselves. We were in the room next to the breakfast room but it wasn't an issue

Harbourside Lodge is between a marina and an industrial park. One decent restaurant next door. We had to walk a few blocks to find other restaurants.We had to go looking for clean towels -management issue I guess. Breakfast offered is underwhelming.

Great place to stay before Abel Tasman

Belinda was an amazing host. We stayed here before and after the Abel Tasman. She was kind enough to store baggage for us during our hike. I recommend paying a little bit more for the harbour view if possible as it was beautiful to wake up to.
