    I stayed two nights and couldnt fault it, modern, clean, warm, private, quiet and secure . Lovely shower, nice towels, very comfortable bed. Small kitchenette. Great for solo traveller or a couple. Close to beach access where dog walking is permitted. Close to park and cafe part of beach too. Seems a central position to go to nelson city or the other way to richmond , stoke etc. Definitely positively recommend, and would stay again.
