The honest lawyer was the perfect place to stay for an early departure at the Nelson airport – the best part was the friendly staff! Ian, the person that checked us in, was delightful – thank you!

The highlight was definitely the restaurant meal. While room was tidy, good range of coffes, teas, continental breakfast, it was very small, especially the shower. Staff were friendly at both reception and in restaurant. Massive outdoor dining and family area. Definitely will be back.

This is the most wonderful old English-style hotel with a fantastic restaurant and pub. The internet was awful but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend it.
