We were welcomed by Gina and Andy who are both friendly and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the studio unit we asked for and delighted with free full WiFi and multi channel Sky TV. The Superking bed was as good as home, the kitchen, which had microwave plus a full functioning stove was everything one needs in a motel. It was perfectly cleaned each morning of our three night stay; even the bed was made for us, as well as the towels etc being replaced.
We have stayed in various accommodations in our three week tour of the South Island and honestly say this was one of the top two places. The price was very fair.
Being close to the airport, we expected noise from aircraft, but this was not the case and we had completely quiet nights with no disturbance.
Arcadia Motels are close to the lovely Tahunanui beach. The town is handy and easy to find and there are lots of things to do and see in Nelson. We will recommend this one to friends.
Andy recommended a restaurant (Styx) and offered to book it for us, which we agreed to. A nice surprise awaited us at Styx, when we were offered our first drink on the house. These little things help a lot to make a pleasant stay even better!
