Delorenzo Studio Apartments, hotel in Nelson

Delorenzo Studio Apartments offers a heated outdoor pool, on-site parking and free Wi-Fi access. Studios come with a kitchenette, laundry facilities and a private bathroom.

This accommodation ticks every box. It was so far ahead of other accommodation we have stayed at during our South Island stay, with similar rates. It had everything and more we needed. Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer topped it off! Lovely linen and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend Tides Bar and Restaurant across the road too for a lovely meal.

    I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

    Nelson is a lovely town, with beautiful hanging baskets and old, unique architecture, close to Tahunanui beach, which is lovely. The Saturday market is great and wandering around Nelson town is fun, there are some good small specialty shops. I enjoyed the museum and the Suter Art Gallery and Queens Gardens. It is also a great base to visit both the Marlborough and the Tasman regions.

    Takaka is a must for those who love alternative shops and lovely radiant people. Lake Arnaud is worth a visit. A wine lovers dream area. Harvest resturant was the highlight of the trip. Stunning location service and food.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent.

    The Art and Crafts I saw were excellent. The Suter Gallery was a highlight, and I enjoyed the Cathedral. I really enjoyed the walk up to "the centre of N.Z" and the views from there. I had some very good food and liked looking at the architecture - e.g the villas and transitional villas in The Brook. Founders Park and Miyazu Japanese Garden were great. Also, having a craft beer at "The Free House", a church that has been converted into a drinking place( and painted with fun colours) was wonderful.

    Friendliness and facilities were so nice.We had a lovely balcony with table and chairs.Near the beach.The lady I Ispoke to on the phone requesting a bath also came to greet us and she remembered me from our phone call and said enjoy your bath you deserve it. She must have remembered when I spoke to her previously we were going to be tired as we had come from a month of entertaining friends and family. This got us off to a great start.Then we were so happy to see how lovely our unit was.A Wonderful stay

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. One incident was that I dirty my shoes at a muddy beach and the staff kindly let me use a large cleaning sink to clean my shoes. Thank you and much appreciated. The location was very good with beautiful scenery - high and low tides right before your eyes. The room was vintage style, cosy and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Our family of 7 had dinner in the hotel restaurant - excellent! Highly recommend this hotel to visitors coming to the Nelson area.

    We stayed in a very outdated house. It was clean and all the facilities worked. It was actually very pleasant for our extended family, including some that had a different room in the same hotel. The hotel owner said that this house was going to be either removated or replaced ( I can't remember which). It was great value for money, especially given that we were just passing through and had to stay there because flights were cancelled.

    The Admirals Motor Inn is about 15 minutes walk from the centre and we think much better value than right down town. Spacious motels suites, ours had a separate little office. Nice older quieter suburban type area. Great restaurant, Flames practically next door and little French coffee shop just around the corner back to town. A charming part of Nelson, older motel, but clean, roomy and comfortable. Good value. We would choose again

    Excellent staff - they went over and above board to help us out during our stay. We checked in early as the room was ready, and a taxi was booked for us to leave early the next day to the airport. When the taxi didn't arrive in time for our departure, the owner took us to the airport in Nelson. Such a lovely, helpful couple - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

    Awesome hostel - the atmosphere was great, the staff was so nice and really took the time to show every guest at check-in where everything is at the hostel, but they also had some excellent recommendations for Nelson. The kitchen is spacious, the lounge is cozy, and the 4-bed dorm I booked was comfortable. The apple pie the staff made for all guests was an added bonus!

    This is luxury! Brenda and Guy have created a beautiful space to enjoy away from the hustle and bustle of Nelson. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast provided was lovely. So many little things provided that made it feel so much more welcoming. The views are guaranteed and the alpacas were super cute. Highly recommend.
