“A group of seven of us stayed overnight at Chelsea Park Motor Lodge before starting Cycle Journey’s Great Taste Trail leaving from Nelson.
We were all very impressed with the warm friendly welcome we received on check in and the easy check in and out process. Our rooms were quiet, very roomy, tastefully decorated, extremely clean, comfortable beds and a short walking distance to the CBD.
The owners went out of their way to ensure we had all the information we required for our stay e.g. Nelson Street map, recommendations for lunch and dinner, directions us to where we had to be to start the cycle trail the next day and even offers of help with transporting our luggage….how awesome is that?
We would highly recommend Chelsea Park Motor Lodge as a place to stay in Nelson.
Thank you Tomoko & Dean for you hospitality and the extra assistance that you provided…it was most appreciated.”
“We loved staying at this Motel, really warm friendly hosts!
The room was really clean and the bed very comfortable. We sat outside in the charming little courtyard attached to our room with fantails flying around, such a peaceful place to enjoy a drink in the evening! The motel is only a couple of minutes away from the Cathedral, everything within walking distance but enough separation to be a very quiet spot. Thanks Dean and Tomoko we will be back!”
“Great place to stay, with friendly staff who go out their way to help. Including checking you in whilst in your car because it’s raining so hard!!
The room we had was a two bedroom family room and it was an awesome size. With an open plan kitchen, dining, lounge area and two separate good sized bedrooms. The bathroom even had a spa bath and shower that was on a hose which is perfect for cleaning kids if you have any! The beds were comfy and rooms well heated with aircon if it was needed.
Just a few minutes walk into town and parking this place was a fantastic find that I’ll stay in again. Value for money – a rarity currently! Thanks for a wonderful if not short stay.”
“This place is a must stay! My wife and I are big travelers and are lucky to have traveled around the world and we both agreed, Dean and Tomoko have one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in! Their hospitality is one of the best…if not the best we have ever had. They are so nice and welcoming.”
“Wow, I can’t say enough great things about Chelsea Park Motor Lodge. Dean and Tomoko are THE SWEETEST and they have really created a wonderful little haven with Chelsea park. I couldn’t be more grateful for choosing this place to stay and I highly recommend to anyone else looking for a place in Nelson!”
“Thank you! Clean, nice rooms with cooktops and super helpful hosts. First floor has beautiful little outdoor garden seating. Fairly spacious and convenient location to walk around town – overall a great stay!”
“Pet Friendly and Central, so great! We spent a very good stay with my dog Roma at Chelsea Park Motor Lodge. The apartments are complete, cozy, quiet, spacious! Honestly the best option in Nelson if you are looking for a place to stop with your doggo.
Thank you for having us!”
“Wonderful spot close to town and restaurants. Dean and Tomoko were super friendly and helpful. Good size room for 2 and the shower was fantastic. Lovely clean room and I liked the added touch of how the towels were folded. Thank you!”
“Best accommodation I have stayed at in many years. Excellent facilities, great bed, superb location, friendly and professional staff. Dogs most welcome and there was no bias in the quality of room provided. Outstanding. Will be our first point of contact next time we require accommodation in Nelson.”
