We stayed 2 nights in an upgraded room - one in a tower, octagonal in shape, quirky and fun being large and with good views across the park to the beach. Facilities included a comprehensive kitchenette, large corner bath with jacuzzi, sauna (yes, sauna), free breakfast, free use of internet laptop, tea & coffee on the go all day. Staff... More

We stayed one night 10/3/13 and we were very happy with the accomadation. Our room was very good, plenty big enough for what we wanted and ensuite. Nicely laid out with drink facilities although no air con which initially was a concern as the room was very hot when we arrived in the afternoon due to the large glass windows... More

Stayed 3 nights. There's something very quirky about this place with it's Asian pagoda look and large Chinese decorative vases. Saying that if you are looking for somewhere with easy access to Tahunanui beach you can't go wrong. I believe new owners took over 6 weeks ago so top marks for such a friendly welcome on arrival and all the... More

My wife and I had 4 nights in Nelson due to a wedding and chose to stay at the Aloha Lodge. Close to the beach a number of bars and restaurants we found this accommodation exceeded our expectations. The bathroom while simple in design had a massive makeup bench and good lighting which my wife loved. Besides a warm welcome... More

The staff were friendly, the breakfast was continental. The rooms were fine and clean and the bathroom very spacious. No air con though. Very close to the beach which was lovely, but no supermarket nearby, you had to go into Nelson TC but with no car it was too long a walk.

I think having the hand rail by the shower and toilet an excellent idea but the tiles were slippy so needs to have non slip ones put down for safety. The room was clean and tidy and the towels changed daily. The only thing that needed to be cleaned was the venetian blind in the bathroom which was very dusty.... More

We stayed there for one night in the studio room. Very comfortable and clean. Good wifi. Breakfast included. It's a short drive to the golf course if you are into that, and a shorter walk to the beach. It's about 5 klms out of the cbd but there are enough restaurants and shops in the area so you don't have... More

Rooms are small but why are you in your room with so much to see and do? Breakfast area also has couch and chairs seating area and outside patio seating area. Breakfast was juice, cerals, fruits toast jams coffee and tea. Staff helpful and available as soon as you page them from front desk.

We liked the look of the promotional photo - took a chance and phoned, and got an amazing deal. We were upgraded to an executive suite, which was not only had great views, but also, being octagonal, was kind of quirky, yet fun! The suite contained everything we needed, and more. Although we were not able to get the wifi... More
