- From US$118.95 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 642 reviewsAbsolutely superb! Spotlessly clean. Lovely comfy bed, superfast WiFi. Very well appointed kitchen area. Great shower and toiletries. They provided robes, that we didn't actually use. Best of all was some superb filter coffee. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We arrived early and asked if we could park and wander but our room was already so we were checked in, given really useful advice and then sat in the sun on the deck to unwind after our drive. Highly recommended.Guest review byJohnSpain

Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.Guest review byKimNew Zealand - 10.0
Loved this spot for a well priced family get away.
Loved this spot for a well priced family get away. The staff were wonderful, check in was easy. The apartments were a great size to sleep everyone comfortably. Close to everything Motueka has to offer. Smoking Barrel for a burger and fries next level. Beautiful beaches.Guest review byRyan - 8.0

You go to Kaiteriteri for the awesome views, beach and water. There is good walking/hiking paths nearby. It was not overly crowded at the beginning of March but the water was still swimmable. Very close to Abel Tasman which is great.Guest review byBonnieUnited States - 10.0

St arnaud is the starting point for discovering the delights of Nelson Lakes National Park. The town and the surroundings are extremely picturesque and the walks in the national park remain some of my favourites in the South Island. Beautiful beech forests. Also very nearby are dedicated mountain bike trails that are great fun.Guest review byFrankieNew Zealand - 10.0

We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman...
We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman track. It is a small township, and we enjoyed walking down to the bay for the sunset. We had chosen the Aqua taxi to transport us up to the start of our walk, and enjoyed the efficiency and novelty of that experience. Just a warning to other travellers, By mid May, the little township is settling in for the ‘off’ season, which means that there are fewer grocery and eating options. We had been forewarned and had collected groceries at Motueka.Guest review bySneddleAustralia - 10.0
We enjoyed the local restaurants .
We enjoyed the local restaurants .The fish and chips at the smoke house were delicious,as was the smoked snapper we took back to our lovely accomodation.The meal and customer service we experienced at Mapua India Eatery was first class.A great spot to base your self,as you are close to many locationsGuest review byCowell - 10.0
We love this beach - especially in winter!
We love this beach - especially in winter! It is also very close to some special places - Tata and Ligar Beaches, the Wainui Falls, the Grove Reserve and more - always something new to discover. Molly Bs is to be reccommended…and the cafes of Takaka are not far away.Guest review byPeterNew Zealand
