The Beachcomber Hotel (Nelson, New Zealand)

Located just a short seven-minute walk from the gorgeous sands of Tahunanui Beach, The Beachcomber Hotel is a traditional motel with a heated outdoor pool. The simply furnished and decorated rooms feature basic cooking facilities, including a fridge, microwave, and tea/coffee stations. Other amenities include LCD TVs with cable channels and free Wi-Fi. A boardroom suitable for meetings and a larger room suitable for conferences and functions are available for hire. Open for breakfast and dinner, Saltwater Bar & Kitchen is the in-house restaurant. They use mostly locally grown and raised produce in their dishes, and are especially well-known for their coffee, which is roasted locally. The Natureland Wildlife Trust, a small but much-loved zoo featuring local fauna, makes for an ideal family outing and is just an eight-minute walk from The Beachcomber Hotel. Nelson's town centre is less than five kilometres away.
