Search Lodges in Hira Forest

"I appreciated the kindness and empathy I received when I arrived from my journey feeling very stressed. Thanks for that care. "

"Great location next to a lot of bars and restaurants. Good place to stay before a ferry ride as well!"

"Welcoming. Dining was ideal on the river. No lift though."

"Beautiful rooms, clean and friendly staff. "

"This place is a hidden gem! It doesn't look like much from the outside (your basic motor lodge on a rather busy commercial strip) but don't judge the book by its cover! Our two room Suite was lovely very spacious, modern and clean with all the amenities you'd expect from a more upscale hotel. The owner (staffing the front desk) was super friendly and welcoming, and full of great suggestions for things to do and places to eat nearby."

"It began with chatty and helpful David at checkin, who offered us an upgrade to an upper floor, larger suite with better airflow through the windows. He personally walked us over, and pointed out the cafe out the back gate right next door at the campground, and the bike rentals place beside it. And of course we could now see the sea too, 400m away. Big suite with comfy sofa, kitchenette, kithcen table and balcony with table and chairs too. Good sized bedroom with huge, comfy bed. Bathroom with good if creaky shower, instant heat and plenty of water pressure. Will definitely stay again if we ever return to Nelson."

"Great windows and views. Easy walking to shops restuaents and gardens. Not far from the beach. I thought parking should be included. "

"As the last time it’s beautifully & practically set out and appointed. Right down to washing machine & dryer, spa bath Nespresso & sound system. Nothing is trouble to the staff & you feel welcome "

"All of the staff that I interacted with had the best customer service I have ever come across in Nelson - and that’s saying something because I lived there for 24 years. The *only* thing that may stop me staying there again in the future is actually a major positive for the park - the entire grounds are smoke free! As a smoker myself, this was a tiny bit of a pain but, it was so nice to see that this was a policy considering the amount of children that probably stay there 😁. Well done all. Keep up the amazing work!"
