The Sails offers luxurious 5-star accommodation with free Ultra Fast WIFI, floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony or patio. Free on-site parking.

The modern accommodation offers a lounge area with a 65 inch LED 4K TV. Each includes a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel benches. Some accommodation also offers a spa bath. The place was very clean, well-equipped, and clearly designed with care. The location is great and it’s nice and quiet at night. I booked at 7:30 pm for a 9 pm check-in and only later realized the office closed at 8, so I felt nervous and a bit sorry about the timing. Luckily I got a quick and helpful response which made everything easy. At checkout I met a lovely and friendly staff member who even recognized my room right away. It all made me feel really welcome. Highly recommended!

Just 350 metres from Nelson's CBD and award-winning cafes, restaurants and shops, Palazzo Motor Lodge offers accommodation with air-conditioning and double glazing in all apartments. The self-catering apartments also include free unlimited WiFi, and a Smart TV. I was told that staying in a motel was an important part of the New Zealand travel experience and I'm so happy that I chose to stay in what definitely deserves to be rated as the best motel in NZ. Everything about the place was just perfect, from the incredibly friendly reception and helpful tips and recommendations to the beautiful, spotless room with every thing you could ever want or need. I actually was quite taken back by how well equipped the kitchen was with everything that one could ever want. Thank you for all of your kindness and a really lovely comfortable stay. I hope to return!
