We had a great stay at Beachcomber Motel, Nelson. The room was very tidy and exceptionally clean, making it a comfortable place to relax. It’s in a quiet location and only a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for enjoying daily walks. We really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

My booking was made last minute as a result of trip cancellations. It was easy as my wife made the booking online from the US. I was greeted by Zara in reception and she was very friendly and helped me obtain the map of the Wakapuaki cemetery where I was hoping to find my oldest brother who died when he was 11 months old. I was successful! The room was clean and had the necessary condiments etc. I would highly recommend the Beachcomber especially because of the staff but also the proximity to the beach. It is an excellent location with many eating houses, cafes, and pubs within a short distance of the hotel.
