Top Wakapuaka Hotel Reviews

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good

"There was good communication and instructions to access the room. The place is priced to match the facilities. The heating is fine but its not instant like a heat pump. Shower is small, with a substantial step up into it & has a curtain. However there was plenty hot water but the rose is low for taller people."

Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, funky colour's, bar and restaurant excellent. Very central location"

Grand Arden Monaco Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. The staff were very helpful."

Quest Nelson

"Clean room, quiet location."

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Palazzo in Nelson. We had a nice quiet room and the tips on where to eat and what to see were very much appreciated. Would stay here again in future."

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."
