Harbourside Lodge
Located 20 minute walk outside Nelson CBD. Manager Belinda was extremely accommodating even offering to give us a lift by car into Nelson CBD. Close to a pub which had a great menu. Continental breakfast was basic but well presented and acceptable. Would have been nice to have a TV in the bedroom. ...

Tides Hotel
Fabulously decorated hotel and room. Lovely balcony. Restaurant was busy but we didn't use it so cant comment on food. Easy walk to other dining option. Sadly it was cheaper to book on expedia rather than direct with hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
