We traveled extensively through New Zealand over the last couple of weeks staying at motels throughout. Century Park Motor Lodge was possibly our best overall experience. Considerable attention was paid to quite a few details that fall through the cracks in even 5 star hotels. We were sensitively looked after by Jan, yet with humour and good natured teasing which...

I have lived and traveled in New Zealand since 1987 and have stayed mainly in motels. I would like to say that my experience at Century Park Motor Lodge has been the best. I was traveling with two other couples and even they felt that a lot of attention had been paid to some details for the comfort of the... More

The Century Park Motor Lodge is fantastic. The facilities are in top condition. It is contemporary style with spa bath. The owners gave us great recommendations for places to eat and shop, It is understandable why the lodge has received the top Trip Advisor award for the past three years. If you go to Nelson NZ, I recommend staying there.... More

This is an accommodation concept that doesn't really exist in the US, and it needs to. Picture a typical road-side motel, but with boutique finishings (nice bedding, well-finished bathroom, etc.) and a nice kitchenette (dishwasher, stovetop, etc). The price was not a whole lot more than many of the other options short of a bunkroom in a backpackers. Though the... More

Stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Great hosts and fantastic clean room. Even went to the trouble of forwarding a forgotten shirt home for us. Would happily recommend and will definitely stay here again when we are back in Nelson!

The suite is sooo comfortable, as as was the bed. Though I was in the front suite, I had no problems with noise. But the best thing... More

This was just the most perfect get away and the most romantic place I have ever stayed in. The place was quiet, warm, spotless and amazing.

Chose this motel after reading that it is rated the best motel in NZ; quite simply, I would agree! Large rooms that are beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, luxurious beds, you really do feel special when staying here. Friendly hosts and excellent location just add to the reasons why you should choose this motel if you are staying in Nelson.
