I booked the room with the sauna with optimism that I would get back into yoga in our holiday - however, I didn't get as far to use it. Regardless of this, the Beachcomber was an absolutely excellent choice. Not only was it in a prime location, with the bus route junction, beach and zoo at our doorstep, but the room and spa was excellent. The cleaners I came across on my route to the laundry room were as warm and friendly as the reception staff. I also very much appreciated that the amenities of bathroom products and milk were provided in single, large sustainable options. What was undersold before our trip was the gardens - the courtyard was beautiful. Also shout out to the shower pressure, which felt like a free massage. All in all we will absolutely be staying at the Beachcomber directly any time we visit Nelson.

The only fault I could ever push to think of was not knowing how long the washing machine cycle would take - trivial, when compared to everything else that was absolutely astounding.

The room was spacious including the outdoor patio. There were more towels than just one each. The beds were comfortable and nice and clean. The spa bath was great. Also, the location was great.

I couldn't find an iron which I needed. When I took my child for a swim the pool was dirty and I needed to clean it myself, even though someone on staff came over to tell us the hose was filling the pool up and she didn't offer to clean it or call someone to do it. I also had to ask staff if they could remove the cover to the pool it was 1.30 in the afternoon, shouldn't this have been done already? There was no remote to turn the TV up, it was very low in sound.

They were very busy and a few things had gone a bit awry, so room was a little late being ready. Not a biggie, we could park car and went to find late lunch. Have stayed here a couple of times and will again. It's comfortable, clean and handy to the airport. You can wander the beach and park across the road, I love it. The rooms are a bit old feeling, carpet is worn and stained in places, it's certainly not luxury but it's fine. It was the most expensive place I stayed in the South Island and not the most luxurious. But it's all about location I guess

If it was a little cheaper, I'd be a super happy person😊. But really nothing to dislike.

The location was great for us as we needed to be near the skating rink, lots of options within walking distance, takeaways, cafes, bars, activities for the kids, beach etc. The room was clean and comfortable, staff were lovely and very helpful. We did have ants move in on our second day but the receptionist very kindly, quickly and easily moved us to another room :) There is a well-stocked kitchen if needed for self-catering, and coffee, a selection of teas, hot choc, milk, biccies, shampoo etc supplied.

Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn't reliable, I was hoping to get some work done as we had travelled all day, but couldn't get it to connect, and as we had arrived out of hours the reception was closed so couldn't check.

Excellent location for the beautiful beach and large grass area . Comfy bed and clean room. Very friendly staff and helpful . Barbecue area for all to use . Near bus route . Enough places to eat nearby . Microwave was a nice touch with plates/bowls/cups and cutlery provided plus tea,coffee and a fridge

Quite a way from the town area but bus stop only 100m away or a 30/40 minute walk along the sea front which is a nice walk .

Awesome bed. Good sized room for a studio room, and small separate kitchenette. Spotlessly clean. This is an older style motel block which I am guessing was top of the range when it was built, and while now a bit dated, is still very functional. Great location, minutes from the beach, and close to a range of eateries.

The bathroom was narrow and a bit awkward, but the water pressure in the shower was awesome :-)

Lovely lay out and setting, staff were so patient and helpful in all my dealings with them. Liked the small glass bottles of milk. Toiletries, beverages plentiful and good quality. Extremely clean with good quality and plentiful towels and bedding. Windows that opened, easy to use TV (no netflix thank goodness)heated towel rail, large bathroom and a heater that worked well and was easy to use. The crockery, and utensil were clean and good quality. Able to park car near room. To be picky the hall carpets were slightly worn and about 5.30am on one of the mornings they was quite a loud conversation going on which seemed to be taking place outside the building close to where my room was it lasted about 20mins. Otherwise it was quiet. I would like to gave a very special thanks to the gentleman (on night duty) who answered my cry for help to let me in as I had mislaid my key at 10pm at night. He insisted I got in out of the cold, and tracked a key down for me which included ringing someone who answered his call immediately. He let me in and we found the "mislaid key" in my door lock! He was so patient, pleasant and helpful. So thank you all at the Beachcomber I would definitely stay there again.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. We were treated very well. We had a room in the Lodge and loved it. The shower was great, and the kitchenette was well supplied. Lots of nice towels and our room was serviced when we wanted. There's a laundry for guests The view from our room was fantastic, overlooking a beautiful garden area as well as the soccer fields and the beach area. We were steps from 3 pubs, all a little different from each other, although we favored Smugglers because of its extensive options and a terrific lunch special. Close to everything anyone could need. Tahunanui Beach offers lots of activities for adults and children and only a short 5 to 10 minute walk away. Such a perfect location. Highly recommend staying here.

Can't think of anything. We had a great stay.

location, comfortable bed One staff member said she could cancel breakfast because we were leaving at 7am, which was not what we wanted, but another staff member heard our conversation and said that breakfast could be premade and brought to our room that night. This was great!

the towel rail was hanging off the wall, perhaps the rooms/building need a little updating. It was also very hot and there was no air con. We left the windows open but it was very noisy with rowdy people below coming off the street late at night.

We loved this HUGE apartment on the ground level, it had absolutely everything our family needed to cook a meal and to all fit on the couch and watch a movie on Sky (after we had walked Abel Tasman for 5 days). There are so many options for coffee spots, restaurants and takeaways all within walking distance. There is even a bus stop right outside on the street, which we took full advantage of! Very comfy beds too with nice linen.

We loved the Hotel.
