Pros +
- Brian the manger made us feel welcome when we arrived and upgraded us to an executive at no extra charge, thank you so much. We enjoyed having a relaxing swim in the pool after traveling around all day. The room was very nice inside, comfortable bed, large walk-in shower, and with everything we needed to cook our dinner. Plenty of parking onsite and we were able to do a load of washing as well.
- Very impressed with staff's attempt to arrange convenient parking.
- The owner Brian greeted us and couldn’t be more helpful with information about shopping and sightseeing for our onward journey.
Cons -
- Would have preferred ground floor but not available.
- The $19 fee charged when I paid by debit card.

nothing at all
The owners were so friendly.Said we could have the grandchildren over whom we were visiting to swim in the pool.Called to the room to see if we needed anything.
The motel was well-maintained, the decor was modern and relaxing, there were clothes washing facilities for guests (but $5 per load in each of the washing machine and drier), the kitchen was well-equipped, and the owners could not have been more kind and helpful. The location is great, on Highway 6 from Nelson to Murchison, and very close to Richmond's shops etc. You can get into central Nelson in 20 minutes at most. There was a table and chairs, and a comfortable lounging chair as well as the bed, and as a studio it was very spacious.
My room was an upstairs studio that faced a very busy road, and noise was a problem. I had to keep the windows closed to keep out the noise, but also because the upper catch on each window was too high for me to reach to open or close it. The windows were not double-glazed, although there were curtains provided that did cut out a lot of the noise when closed. But during the day, it was really hot and I had to have the door open for some air. At some stage, when money allows, I think this room should be double-glazed. I also felt that it was somewhat over-priced at $210 per night, considering it was a studio with no balcony and road-facing. I would recommend that they drop the price a little. The other rooms that faced away from the road, and especially the rooms overlooking the pool area, would be a lot nicer - quieter, more peaceful.
Great sized family room and pool was lovely. Friendly hosts. Great stay.
Great stay overall at the parkside motel. Staff were very friendly. All the amenities in your room you would expect. Kitchenette had two smallish glass hobs, a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, cookware, cooking utensils (chopping board and knife), plates, cups and cutlery etc. Water from the tap tasted good as wemm. The bathroom had great shower pressure, a heater towel rails and fan. The pool is a nice addition as well. Our kids really enjoyed a dip in there. The motel is located close to the Richmond mall which is handy for supermarket shopping. We got pool toys from the kmart there. There is also a good carpark.
The motel is located on a busy street. I dont think the windows are double glazed so you can hear street noise. If you're a light sleeper you'll notice this.
Lovely hosts and nice wee pool. Unit a good size including nice sized bathroom
Mattresses were not great. We also personally don't like not being able to remove electric blankets as we don't enjoy sleeping on them even if off. These ones were built into the underlay so we were stuck with them.
Great location and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. They are new to this and so far doing a grand job. We look forward to staying again.
Very welcoming hosts. We booked super spontaniously, which was no Problem at all. Rooms super clean and tidy, great location. We would definitely come again!
very comfortable apartment - comfy bed
A bit hot - has ceiling fans. Air con would be nice.
Wonderful big rooms, well kept grounds, amazingly friendly staff.
Exceptional stay. Much better then the couch at my daughters place. But in all seriousness staff are friendly, rooms are spacious and clean and bed was so comfy as well as the pillows.Very happy
If I had to pick something then it would be the stairs just because they are stairs
Super clean and cozy. Great location. Brian, the owner was super nice!
Not that I can think of.
The hosts ( owner / manager) were so welcoming and helpful. The room was spotless and very comfortable.The grounds looked very inviting as did the poor but we didn’t swim due to the poor weather.We will recommend this Motel to anyone visiting Nelson/ Richmond area.5 stars!
Comfy spacious room. Nice and clean. The staff were fantastic. Would definitely stay here again
Location. Parking right outside our door. Extremely clean . Lovely shower.
Nothing could have been better. Very nice motel.
