Top hotels in Tahunanui
The Beachcomber Hotel
Very comfortable 1-bedroom suite including bed, pillows and recliner seats. Ideal location for Tahunanui Beach and for driving to Nelson, Mapua and Richmond. Loved the pool. Great you don’t get automatic servicing - just opt in for any day or get any supplies from cleaning staff.
