Top Wakefield Hotel Reviews

Beaches Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Our sunny, upstairs 1 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. The jet bath and kitchenette were great. There appears to be enough parks for each unit. We were within walking distance to a few restuarants and 3 fast food places. The host made us aware of some road noise in the front units. So if you are a light sleep request a quiet room. The unit was exactly like the photos. We would stay here again."

Grand Arden Monaco Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, bed was comfy. Had a great pub across the road also where I had dinner."

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this place, it’s lovely. Well located with clean, comfortable rooms and quality amenities."

Saxton Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good staff and good service. Wonderful accommodation"

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay, thankyou!! Close to everything! Food in the restaurant was exceptional - breakfast & dinner 🍽 dinner...."

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."

Chelsea Park Motor Lodge Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"I just stayed here one night on my way from Picton to Franz Joseph. 2 hour car ride from the Ferry. My ferry was late so the staff made arrangements for me get my key as I arrived after hours. Electric blanket was a nice touch."

DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing place to stay. Walkable to town, friendly staff, parking, mini kitchen, in room laundry, pool, clean. Great value. Highly recommended."
