We just spent three nights here and I really couldn't imagine better accommodation. Our unit was in such impeccable shape that it looked like it was built yesterday. The beds were super comfortable, with bedside lamps. The kitchen was perfect. It was so awesome having a comfortable sofa! And the hostess was incredibly informative and helpful yet never imposing.

I feel that I must echo all the other reviews so far. Spotlessly clean was my very first thought on arrival. The best kind of hosts possible - attentive yet discrete. The extra care taken with my requirements for my elderly aunt were beyond the call of duty and I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anybody... More

Thank you to Lynn and Stephan for an excellent stay at their 2 bedroom motel unit in Nelson. The 2 bedroom unit came complete with a kitchen, private deck with dining table. It was beyond spotless and very comfortable. If it had been available for the next few nights we would have stayed longer. They also had an nice bbq... More

We stayed at Ascot Lodge in April 2011 and have found it really hard to better it during our extended 9 week stay in the country. We visit our daughter, who lives in New Zealand, on an annual basis and we always travel around the South Island sampling the delights of this wonderful country. We were undecided as to whether...

Ascot lodge was a very lucky find. The moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Both Lynn & Stephen were superb hosts and what they have created in their desire to please their guests is outstanding. The room was excellent, immaculately clean, comfortable and spacious and yet was one of the cheapest we found on our whole trip... More

It's the little details that matter when I travel. This place has covered them all. Small things like coasters on the table. Doesn't have to be there, but it is - and makes the place that much more homely. The cleanest place we've ever stayed in by a country mile. Hats off to Lynn & Stephan. When cleanliness is noticeable... More

My husband and I, and the couple we were travelling with were absolutely delighted with the two bedroom unit we stayed in overnight - so much so we regretted we weren't staying longer. Close to the airport, yet not overwhelmed by noise overnight (Nelson is a small city - flights do not go on overnight) it was really convenient. The... More

Ascot Lodge is a great place to stay - quiet, close to the beach and eating places (10 minutes walk). Lynn and Steve are great hosts and make your stay feel like you are one of the family. I have been coming here for over 5 years and can truly say that it is an enjoyable place to stay -from... More

Firstly i would echo every recommendation that was made in the last review and agree that YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER ACCOMMODATION ANYWHERE ELSE IN NEW ZEALAND. The rooms are scrupulously clean, fully equipped with spotless furniture and fittings, and very comfortable. Lyn & Steve are perfect hosts, will make you feel so welcome and help you any way they...
