Just 350 metres from Nelson's CBD and award-winning cafes, restaurants and shops, Palazzo Motor Lodge offers accommodation with air-conditioning and double glazing in all apartments. The self-catering apartments also include free unlimited WiFi, and a Smart TV. I was told that staying in a motel was an important part of the New Zealand travel experience and I'm so happy that I chose to stay in what definitely deserves to be rated as the best motel in NZ. Everything about the place was just perfect, from the incredibly friendly reception and helpful tips and recommendations to the beautiful, spotless room with every thing you could ever want or need. I actually was quite taken back by how well equipped the kitchen was with everything that one could ever want. Thank you for all of your kindness and a really lovely comfortable stay. I hope to return!
