Fabulous location only 10-15 minutes walk to Tahunanui Beach which is very tidal but safe for children as at 2 hours off high tide is not too deep for children to enjoy a swim. There is a shower and tap near the Beach cafe for showering off sand after our swim.
Our 2 bedroom unit is lovely with sliding door opened to let in the sea breeze on a hot sunny day and picnic table outside to enjoy a beer and dinner in the warm evening sun.
The receptionists are so friendly and welcoming. As we had arrived 1/2 an hour before check in time, my husband and I went to the beach and had an ice cream at the Beach café which is a popular place to stop off.
The holiday park gets the aeroplane noise from Nelson airport, the planes fly overhead but it is not too intrusive although, the first flight this morning was at 6 o’clock which is fine if you are early risers so for me, this is not an issue at all.
It seems perfect for families with a wonderful playground and lovely grassy area still busy with motor homes and caravans despite the season finishing with the return of children to school.
Heated towel rail and plunger coffee provided definitely impressed me as many places do not provide either.
Fishy at Roto, a recommended fish and chip shop for an easy dinner is only 3 minutes drive away.
Highly recommended place for a relaxing stay in Nelson, so close to Tāhunanui Beach.

We checked in late, gate code didn't work, but the after hour attendant was able to get us in. It was a little hard to find our room in the dark but we eventually found it (they gave Decent instructions on the check in map but the parking spot paint number was faded out) The room was decent, carpet had some sticky candy residue, but overall clean. Would love to visit again and explore the holiday park more. The park is directly on the flight path of the airport and offers so great low flying viewing (noise too).

A family game of mini golf was fun and nice having a proper coffee at the cafe. Unit was perfect for a short getaway and prepared our own meals. Location really can't be beat.

Happy customers

We found this a comfortable place to stay. The studio motel had everything we needed and was spacious compared to others we have seen. The beach setting was a plus, although that was not the purpose of our stay. The only down-side was the wifi, doled out in coupons that lasted for only 30 minutes, requiring repeated logins.
