The Sails Nelson

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent
"We had a 12 day stay while attending a conference in Nelson and really enjoyed the Sails. The staff was great, even helping us locate my wife's lost nickers which were accidentally taken out with the used towels! All the conveniences of home. Also, great location for all things Nelson. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed."

"Great welcome by Harry the owner. Extremely comfortable, nice private deck, super sparkling clean, and so close to town; just a minute or two away. Didn't hear any traffic noise despite it being close to town. Highly recommend this place. We will be back."
