    Pros +

    • Great location, friendly staff, and clean.
    • Very nice room but fraudulant booking.
    • This is a large Hotel. A little dated, but clean and tidy. Right over the road from sports fields at Tahunanui and maybe 200M from the beach. Goods eating places and bars near by.

    Cons -

    • The price quoted was $123 and we were charged $212!
    • No complaints on the stay. Apparently I got an upgrade, so I was expecting a bath.. Sadly, no bath. It was a large room with both a Queen and a single bed.
    • Only stairs up to the room . Taking our luggage up was a little challenging

    Beautiful place close to the beach . Wish we’d had more time there to spend time in the pool and the beach

    Only stairs up to the room . Taking our luggage up was a little challenging

    The Beachcomer is a great wee place for us when we have to work in Nelson. Unfortunately the place is always booked out when we come to Nelson, but thats a good indication of a great place.

    9georgePosted on: 11-19-2025

    The unit was very quiet and clean, easy to access and everything that we expected it to be. Ideally situated to enjoy the beach and nearby attractions. Great off street parking adjacent to our unit.

    Nothing!

    9Pauliney L.Posted on: 10-3-2025

    Conveniently located for our one night stay.Good staff service.

    Mould on the bathroom windows with no ventilation via an open window, or fan in the bathroom. Very dated, stained carpet. Uncomfortable hard mattress.

    8KevinPosted on: 9-19-2025

    Staff were excellent, especially the young girl in reception.

    Unfortunately the room smelt ….. think it was the smell of cigarette smoke. The pillows definitely need replacing, and the lightbulbs in the bedside lamp were way too bright.

    8CarlPosted on: 6-13-2025

    Great room

    TV problems fixed by staff

    8CarolinePosted on: 5-6-2025

    So convenient to everything

    Shower pressure was non existent and when I told the lady when we left....she was uninterested!!

    7SuePosted on: 4-30-2025

    Location was close to many cafes and eateries

    Tired decor. Ripped sofa was covered by a throw. Carpet is worn. Needs a renovation!

    7RuthPosted on: 4-29-2025

    The location was fantastic, close to the beach and biking tracks.

    A little dated, no outdoor space off the room.

    4JaimeePosted on: 4-28-2025

    Bed was comfortable

    Shower head was broken, staff stated they knew about it when I mentioned it on departure (over night stay and only discovered that morning). Shower caddy was broken and over all cleanliness in bathroom not great. Dusty in room and pillowcase had marks on it

    7CarlaPosted on: 4-27-2025

    Lovely location close to the beach, we enjoyed walking to the beach. Easy access to town and Richmond. Quite quiet. Very clean, and good showers.

    The mattress was quite worn and saggy on one side. Also, there was no waste paper basket in the bathroom, and the mirror was set very high, making it difficult for shorter people. WiFi was indifferent, sometimes good, lots of times poor

    7DustyPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Comfortable bed and linen

    No milk in the fridge

    7GlennPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Good all round stay. Comfortable, clean room. Spacious and well located although not close to town. Good value.

    Shower a bit weak only complaint

    8JacquiPosted on: 4-20-2025

    The room was well set up and large and sunny ☀️ I was upgraded to a large studio.

    The water pressure in the shower was pretty poor.And the shower head kept slipping down the arm.

    6CastroPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Great location, right across the street from the beach. Also had food around it. Liked the close access to hwy 6.

    Place could use an update and renovation especially a new mattress. But it was clean.

    7MartinPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Great location across the park to the beach. Handy to bars and cafes.

    Looks a bit tired.
