The room was spotless, and he upgraded us to the spa room. The service was outstanding. The owner was so kind and generous. He picked us up at the airport because we had to drop off the car a day early, and then took us back to the airport the next day.

He recommended places to eat and see. Very kind, helpful, and the accomodations were great. The one thing I loved the most is the the vanity mirror was next to a window so it was easy to to see to put on your makeup.

Highly reccomend Arcadia Motel!

Personalised, exceptional service

We had an incredible stay. The personal service was what really sets this place apart.
The apartment we stayed in was tidy and had all the necessities. The beds were very comfortable.
The beach walkway was a quick stroll from hotel and everywhere you’d want to go in the area was a close drive.
We appreciated the customer service most of all. The owner was so nice and welcoming. The family takes pride in their hotel and it shows.

We stayed 3 nights, Room was serviced every day. Very comfortable unit with everything we needed. Motel is in a nice area and very handy to everything including the airport. On a lighter note, if the motel manager recommends the local Indian restaurant to his guests, he should ensure there is extra toilet paper in the room, especially if you have the hot Lamb Madras. The food was absolutely delicious. Overall, our stay in Nelson was fabulous and we highly recommend The Arcadia Motel.

Full kitchen facilities.
Quiet location (the planes passing overhead did not bother us).
Great location close to beach and the route to Nelson CBD.

A convenient property

A nice property convenient to the Nelson Airport, but this can be somewhat of a disadvantage depending upon the flight paths for take off and landing (can be very noisy). The property has a nice swimming pool and barbeque facility.. The beach is also quite close.

Very nice, Andy (Manager) gave us a great welcome and friendly valuable information. We actually wished we had planned more time staying there. Location and area around supplied many attractive outings but we did not have a chance to see them all. A very pleasant stay.

Spotlessly clean, large units. Recommended.

An older motel but spotlessly clean and in stand alone apartment style. Huge numbrr of Sky channels if weather bad. Easy walk to beach. Towels etc changed every day. Recommended.

This is a nice, clean and well-maintained motel. It is well positioned, close to the beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He gave us an excellent explanation about all of the attractions around the area with recommendations for what to do and where to eat. We will stay there again when we are in Nelson.
