Century Park Motor Lodge  

In the heart of Nelson, New Zealand — a safe five-minute stroll from the CBD. Walk to Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson Provincial Museum, the Nelson Market and leafy Anzac Park. A 5-star motor lodge with self-contained apartments, it’s a family-friendly base for exploring the region.

Fourteen well-appointed self-contained apartments opened in 2009 with luxury touches that belie the price. Rooms feature private furnished balconies or patios, kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops, 32-inch LCD TVs and DVD players. The property has earned local awards and TripAdvisor excellence for its service and Kiwi hospitality.

Complimentary wireless internet, an on-site restaurant and a library set a relaxed tone. Tour and ticket assistance, babysitting/childcare (surcharge), laundry and dry-cleaning keep stays easy. Free on-site self-parking and garden or city views mean you can wake up to a quick city stroll or a leafy outlook.

Complimentary wireless internet, in-room desks and safes, phones with free local calls, plus luggage storage and laundry services for longer stays.

An on-site restaurant serves guests and continental breakfasts are available daily for a fee. Plenty of nearby cafés and restaurants are an easy walk from the lodge.
