Winter has been one to remember at Palazzo Motor Lodge!
With petrol prices continuing to rise, many people are thinking twice about taking even a short getaway. Despite these challenges, Palazzo has enjoyed one of our strongest winters yet. We're incredibly grateful for the wonderful support from both our leisure and corporate guests.
The outstanding reviews we've received show that we haven't simply waited for summer—we've continued to provide the warm hospitality, stylish accommodation, and personal service that our guests have come to expect.
We're also proud to share that Palazzo Motor Lodge has recently received Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Award, placing us among the top 1% of accommodation providers worldwide. This incredible honour is awarded because of consistently exceptional guest reviews, and we sincerely thank every guest who has stayed with us and taken the time to share their experience.
Our central Rutherford Street location makes exploring Nelson easy. We're just a short stroll from the Theatre Royal, Nelson's famous Saturday Market, boutique shopping, cafés, and neighbouring the majestic Christ Church Cathedral. The marina, waterfront restaurants, Nelson Hospital, Richmond, the Tasman District, and local colleges are all just minutes away.
We're also delighted to see summer bookings arriving earlier than ever, and it's shaping up to be another vibrant, exciting season. If you're planning a visit to beautiful Nelson, we'd love to welcome you.
Thank you to everyone who has made this winter so memorable. Here's to an amazing summer ahead!
