Stayed here one night before walking the Heaphy and left my sunglasses in the room. The lovely lady who checked us in called me and left it at reception to pick up after the walk. Thank you for the nice clean and lovely room plus kiwi service!

Good place to stay while in Nelson. Short walk into town. There is a restaurant about 50m from the motel. The motel also has breakfast in the morning. Basic but fills the void. The staff were great at check in, and through out the stay. The property backs on the the port but that wasn't an issue..

We had a great stay at the Harbourside Lodge. Our room was spacious and clean. The king bed was very comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to downtown Nelson which didn’t bother us as the view of the marina was beautiful. The price of the room included a nice breakfast. We highly recommend this hotel.

The staff was so friendly and helpful and the room was clean. Breakfast was limited but restocked constantly. The area the hotel is in is in the middle of the port and very industrial. Our rooms had sliding glass doors to the common hallway and no windows other than that.

We chose Harbourside Inn for the location - overlooking Nelson Marina - and because the description said there was a bar and restaurant onsite. In fact those facilities are not on the premises though they are very close. The area is industrial so quiet to walk around at night. It is an easy 20 minute walk to the town centre. The staff were excellent and room had everything we expected, including a balcony to sit out front.
