Just a one night stay before early flight home. Three minute drive to airport. Couple of good pubs next door for drinking and dining. Didn't spend enough time there to give a proper assessment, but what we did see we liked.

Good location near beach in Nelson

The Beachcomber Hotel has an excellent location, across the street from a large park, with the beach just past the park. There is also restaurants very close by. Our room was a bit small but met our needs. There is not air conditioning, but a fan helped.
