We had the best time at The Sails! I am so glad we had upgraded a few months ago to a one bedroom apartment, as it rained most of the two days that we were there and we were glad for the extra space. We felt very much at home and enjoyed exploring Nelson, even in the rain. We ordered breakfast each morning, it was bountiful and delicious, such a treat to have it delivered to the room. Cherie was terrific! She recommended several great restaurants within easy walking distance and was always so cheerful and pleasant. The bed was my favorite in our several week visit to the South Island- comfortable with great sheets and pillows. Great location and extremely clean.

We were totally happy!

Excellent location, amazing staff, very clean with lots of room and the most comfortable beds of any hotel we have stayed. We ordered breakfast every morning and found every option delicious. The pancakes with fried banana was amazing! Heather and Michael were gracious hosts and very helpful. Ample free parking and very easy access to major roadways. Lovely walk along the river very close by. Amazing view of the Nelson sunset. We highly recommend the Sails!

No issues, it was great.

The Sails Nelson is an outstanding property with everything you need for a short or long stay including kitchen facilities. The beds were extremely comfortable. Our room also had a very spacious bathroom with great water pressure & a heated towel rack. There is also an on-site laundry if you need to do some ‘travelling washing’. The location is also excellent only a short 400 metre walk to the centre of downtown Nelson.

We had a night of luxury after 2 months sleeping in a little camper van, so glad we chose Sails. Modern and spacious. Very well located and quiet. The bed was like a cloud, large TV with access to Netflix, fast WiFi. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you need, milk was left in the fridge for us and we had use of the laundry if needed. The owner is lovely and gave us lots of great recommendations. Really loved our stay here, so wish we could have stayed longer!

This is the second time I’ve booked here and was surprised to get an amazing upgrade when we arrived, loved staying here the bed was super comfortable really nice & modern room with a coffee machine (bonus) Receptionist was fabulous ,I’d highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Nelson , easy walking distance to town .

This is my second stay at the Sails. Very clean and well equipped room. Nice to have a private porch to sit and enjoy the greenery. Easy walk to downtown. Has laundry facilities on site. Staff were great and helpful. Plan to return.

Nothing I can list since it met my expectations

Staff and servicing of the rooms. The bed was lovely, large and comfortable. The room was warm and quiet.

As a smoker, I wish that I had noticed it was a non-smoking complex including outdoors (completely my fault). I would've liked to enjoy a wine on the patio with my cigarette.

We were thrilled with the location, just a short stroll into town! We enjoyed a cosy night in with pizza, watching the rugby on the enormous TV. In the morning, we sipped coffee in the sunshine on our terrace before heading out for a big hike. The Sails Nelson was incredibly clean, and we felt very well looked after. Highly recommend!"

At last I managed to secure a room at the Sails, and I was not disappointed! I spent a very comfortable night in a first floor room with every possible comfort provided. My hosts were exceptionally helpful both that evening in messaging me and the next day when they kindly agreed to power up my phone. I cannot recommend this motel more highly so book ahead to make sure you can stay.

Very clean, well equipped kitchenette, great shower pressure and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely return. The staff were so lovely and accommodating.

They could install blackout curtains to help with the morning light but that would be my only complaint.
