    Nothing.

    Well laid out, comfortable, quiet rooms. Located close to the beach and a short drive from Nelson city centre. Spotlessly clean and spacious enough for 2 people.

    There isn't anything we would wish to improve.

    We found the location of Beachside Villas in Tahunanui to be surprisingly convenient - it's close to the airport, a short drive to the Nelson city centre, and of course to Tahunanui Beach. The accommodation has been thoughtfully set up, and is spacious and well laid out.

    Without a car, there is a little more difficult to get to grocery stores.

    Light and airy, well laid out floor plan,wonderful seating area in front where I could have my coffee in the morning. Very friendly and accommodating hosts!! Was met with a warm piece of carrot cake, and a ride to and from the airport. The tour to able Tasman national Park had a shuttle that picked me up almost in front of the property.

    Noisy planes flying overheard but was totally unavoidable being near the airport.

    A warm welcome from the host who greeted us with delicious cake. The apartment was modern and was very fresh and clean. It was also very comfortable especially the bed. It was easy to find by car from Tahunanui beach and the beach at Porter's Cove was in easy walking distance.

    HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY AS WE WERE LITERALLY JUST THERE TO SLEEP. CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE.

    DIDN'T HAVE A BREAKFAST SO CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT. OUR FLIGHT HOME WAS CANCELLED AFTER WAITING NEARLY 3 HOURS FOR A DECISION. WE WERE GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO BOOK THIS MOTEL AT SHORT NOTICE AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN SAME SITUATION AS US. VERY HANDY TO NELSON AIRPORT AND WE WERE ABLE TO WALK TO AIRPORT TO CATCH A PLANE THE FOLLOWING MORNING. MOTEL ALSO ON A BUS ROUTE SO THAT WAS ANOTHER OPTION.

    Location was great, close to the beach, easy to get around. Lovely little touches like home made snacks delivered with room service. The people running the accommodation were lovely, very happy to help us with figuring out what we wanted to do while in Nelson.

    Was a very dated room and furnishings...only some rooms updated apparently. Limited wine glasses and mugs. Bathtub built for 2...if extremely short maybe..and makes difficult to shower. Have to drive rather than walk to restaurants and a long way to beach.

    So very clean. Bed comfortable. Location is driveable to restaurants and good areas of the beach. Had AC so quiet.
