Staying nearby.
We don't run accommodation ourselves outside our beachfront lodges, so here are a few places guests often stay before or after a trip, around Nelson, Motueka, Kaiteriteri and Golden Bay.
Before you book
All information and tariffs listed below are guidelines only and are subject to change. Please contact the accommodation provider directly to confirm current availability and pricing.
