Spacious room, easy parking. Easy walk to the best restaurants in town.
Friendly service. Would definitely stay here again if ever come back to Nelson.
Great location, comfortable and cool vibe to the rooms. Easy walk to dining and groceries. Cherie, the manager was fantastic. Very engaging and fun, with hand delivered breakfast to our rooms, and got us a cab when we checked out. I’d give a 5.5 stars if I could 😎
Room was clean and had nice amenities. Front staff was very accommodating and helpful. The hotel is only a 5 min walk from their town centre. Would def come back
Spent two nights with my wife. Staff was very nice and helpful in providing information about property and the town. We really enjoyed the restaurants and shopping in town which is walkable from the Sails. Room was modern and comfortable. Very nice shower in the bathroom.
This is an amazing property. The rooms are beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, and have everything you need to cook if you wanted to. There are lots of great restaurants walkable with plenty of shopping and things to do. What makes this property so special is the couple that runs the property. They were amazing. They were so very helpful in telling us about the town and giving us recommendations of things to do. I highly recommend this property.
Best Motel that we stayed in during our trip from the UK to New Zealand. Centrally located in Nelson and staff friendly, helpful and extremely attentive for choice of restaurants. Only an hour away from Abel Tasman. Breakfasts served in room, on time and ham and cheese omelette was best I have ever tasted.
We stayed for a few days and couldn’t be happier with our accommodation at Sails. The room was full of everything we needed, even herbal teas and coffee machine - real milk each day too. It was convenient to shops and restaurants and the the owners were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
Excellent property! Staff were so friendly, room was absolutely spotless. We especially loved the breakfast room service which was quite a treat! The massive tv was so nice to have to watch a movie in bed after a long day. Really impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was. I liked the added touch of the milk bottle in the fridge instead of the long life milk you normally find. Definitely would recommend staying here, great location and good parking.
Cherie Was absolutely wonderful and had great communications when our flight canceled and we were a day late checking in. She helped us out so much. The rooms were amongst the cleanest I’ve ever seen. They looked brand new. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Nelson.
I had stayed here previously and was really happy to return. Reception staff are really helpful and efficient and rooms are very comfortable and quiet.
This is a great location if you're visiting Nelson. Fairly central so you can eat in or out in town. The small kitchen facility works perfectly and there is a small balcony to sit out on when the sun is shining,
Beds are very comfortable and rooms quiet.
I was doing the 3 day Abel Tasman walk and they stored my bags while I was trekking.
Would stay again and highly recommend.
A 5 star modern beautifully appointed hotel.
Super well placed close to everything.
Host was extremely helpful with recommendations for some lovely restaurants. We stayed in a wheelchair access room and I would highly recommend for anyone who needs an accessibility room.
Highly recommend
The Sails Nelson was a great place to stay. Convenient location for exploring, close to everything, clean, comfortable, and we loved the corner spa to relax our muscles after doing some adventuring. Thank you!
Had a wonderful stay! The room was very lovely, comfortable, and clean. The woman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. And we were a 15 min walk into city center, 30 min walk to the center of NZ, and 50 min walk to the beach when we were feeling very ambitious.
Would definitely stay again.
