A short walk down Trafalgar to the CBD. The rooms are large and have a well-stocked kitchen if you want to cook in. Breakfast is available for room delivery (at a reasonable price). Laundry facilities are a nice plus. The manager was super friendly and helpful.

A brilliant location in a gem of a town. Our hosts at Sails provided spacious, clean and comfortable accommodation. As well as offering breakfast, we also had the chance to do some washing on our three week road trip of New Zealand. Highly recommended.

The suite we stayed in was very comfortable and in a very handy location. We had space to relax and chill out at night. A very nice place to stay and would recommend.

The Sails Nelson was absolutely amazing. Not only is the location central and within a quick walk to local cafes, restaurants, and the city centre; but the staff are super friendly, accomodating, and helpful. If I could give the Sails Nelson more then 5 stars, I most definitely would!
