Stayed 4 nights and was most impressed with the service - Staff very friendly and obliging , rooms very spacious and cleaned daily, very clean communal kitchen, shuttle free of charge to and from airport - overall a very pleasant experience and would recommend the Saxton Lodge to any travellers.

Pleasant/Professional hosts. Stayed three nights in a unit on the Saxton Rd side of the complex - no traffic noise & a spacious unit. The rate was very reasonable. Communal kitchen well stocked - white goods are due for a deep clean but other than that the kitchen area was of a good standard. Was a little disappointed that a... More

We met my folks in Nelson for a couple of nights and Dad booked us in Saxton Lodge. My sister & I literally chanced upon the hotel before needing to pull up a map. Huge amount of parking (so many other hotels/motels have one park per room). Iron & board, hair-dryer, coffee & tea making facilities in the room. We... More

The room was huge and about the size of my studio/bed-sit apartment when I lived in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Really liked the huge shower and private balcony facing the sunset.... More

very spacious rooms - "communal" kitchen good idea - could walk back from wedding reception so excellent location.

There's a bit of traffic noise sometimes but not enough to prevent a good night's sleep. Location between Nelson and Richmond suits us perfectly as we always have the car and we find Richmond convenient and well-serviced.

The Saxton Lodge provided excellent accomodation for our team playing at National Champs. The location was perfect, just up the road from our venue. The rooms were spotless when we arrived and were cleaned daily. The facilities on offer were very good. The best thing about the Saxton Lodge was the "nothing is too much trouble" attitude from the proprieters.... More

After trawling the older motels close to Tahunanui and being given high room rates and without air con on a very hot day, we decided to head back towards Stoke as we needed to be their the next day. My husband was getting fed up by this stage and decided to try the Saxton and blow the cost (not like... More

This is a great motel if you are visiting friends or playing sport at the adjacent Saxon Field, but a car is essential; the motel is located between Nelson and Richmond - there are no shops or restaurants nearby. The room was huge, and had been warmed in advance of our arrival - a very nice touch on a bleak... More
