Everything! Warm welcome and a great room. Enjoyed sitting out on the patio and the kitchen was well-equipped and very clean. A filtered water tap and the dishwasher were added bonuses. Also the make-up mirror and heat lamps in the bathroom. Short walk to the Cathedral and city center.

This is a well-kept, nicely furnished and very clean property.The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen facilities were excellent with many extras provided. The host Wayne checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. He also thoughtfully mentioned the street was going to be blocked off early on the day we were leaving due to a triathlon event.

Yuki is easy to deal with, the location of the motel is opposite to the river. Our parking is a little bit small but really appreciate the free parking provided by the motel.

Riverlodge motel is situated just a few minutes walk from Nelson town centre. The room was sizable and on the first floor which meant some heavy lifting of luggage. There were a few cars in the car park already so we decided to leave the car on the road outside. We had a meal in the town so other than tea and breakfast didn’t make extensive use of the facilities which were more than adequate for a one night stay.
