Clean comfortable room. Shared kitchen facilities but well appointed with plenty of crockery, cutlery, utensils and equipment.
Rooms on the main road side can be noisy once the traffic starts building up in the morning
We really enjoyed our stay. The owers were very helpful, providing suggestions on things to do and places to go. We will definitely stay there again when we return to the area.
Dion was absolutely fantastic in accommodating our requests, with great communication. The room was clean, modern and exactly what we needed. Thanks Saxton Lodge for the wonderful stay

Staff soooo helpful and polite. Room clean and spacious. Location perfect.
We chose this this property as it is situated in the suburbs. Good parking and laundry facilities available. Clean and comfortable with helpful, friendly host.
They were so kind in giving us numerous recommendations for dinner.
More importantly, the room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable.
We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you!
The manager was so accomodating and yhe standard if cleanlimess was exceptional. For such a large place, the personal touch they managed was exceptional. Camnot reccomend highly enough.
I have never stayed anywhere as welcoming or comfortable. The owners went above and beyond and could not have been more hospitable. The beds were super comfy and the location was great for getting to and from the airport, as well as buses to the Abel Tasman track. We seldom write reviews, but we are so grateful and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Nelson.
Wonderful stay. Large rooms, comfortable beds, clean, quiet, ample and easy parking, strong internet…. It was all good. Very easy to find / navigate to if driving. Area is flat and walkable. Restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. Great host and very friendly welcome. I’d stay there again.
