An excellent choice. We have stayed in Nelson on numerous occasions but the Palazzo was by far the best. The owner, staff were so friendly and obliging and nothing was too much trouble. We had the one bedroom apartment which we thought was exceptional value for money given what we had previously paid for hotel accommodation in Nelson. The lounge, kitchen and dining area were a very good size and equipped to a very high standard. The bedroom whilst not massive was ample size for a large double, fitted wardrobe and bedside tables again of good quality and very clean. The bathroom was very big and well stocked with quality towels and toiletries . We also decided to have the continental breakfast which brought daily to our room and was excellent value for money. Would highly recommend and will definitely rebook when we next return to New Zealand.

From the time we arrived we knew we had made the right choice. The check in process was so easy and the welcome we received was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. My husband was attending a walking football tournament in Saxton. We had to wash uniforms but also had to go to function. I came home and the uniforms were laid out in the bed so they wouldn’t crease. I was so touched by this as it made things so much easier. The apartment was beautiful and exceptionally clean. The bed was so comfy. Location was perfect only a few minutes walk to restaurants and grocery stores. I would not hesitate to stay on our next visit. Highly recommended 😊

By far the best place to stay in Nelson & the Top of the South! The owners have put tremendous effort and thought into making sure you will have a terrific stay @ the Palazzo. The rooms are pristine, bright, modern and stocked with all you could need whether you are staying for one night or a couple weeks. The housekeeping staff was very thorough, friendly and accommodating. The grounds were always clean and well-lit. Should you have any questions regarding places of interest, restaurants or where to find things in Nelson or the surrounding area, the staff is very knowledgeable and has a genuine desire to help. They treat you like friends.

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!

Pretty much everything. We loved our stay and didn’t want to leave! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. The blanket and throw pillows I felt made a nice touch. It was nice to sit in front of the tv with a cosy blanket. The kitchenette was functional and had everything we needed. The room was very spacious, cute little balcony. Styled well and had nice little touches to make it feel like a home. Huge bathroom with spa bath. Toiletries were good quality as well.
