Reviews for Nautilus Lodge Motel
Review 1：Later than expected arrival because of weather - but only 2030 or so and had phoned ahead to explain. Felt very rushed by owners at check-in & atmosphere of queries being just a nuisance (led to incomplete breakfast order and I certainly would not have tried to complain!). Felt like an English B&B attitude rather than laid back NZ.
Review 2：Very short overnight stay so hard to rate most of the facilities
Review 3：Dinner table too small for 4 people and very few storage areas for clothes. Poor wifi.
Review 4：Extremely friendly owners with high customer orientation (services, help in booking, beach towel supply, safety box, luggage checking...). Cleanliness. Big size of the family room and big bathroom. Lots of accessories in kitchen and bathroom. Close to shops. Great choice of video to watch for free. Nice terrace with outdoor pieces of furniture. Thank You Lorraine and Stephen!
Review 5：Cannot fault this property at all!!
Review 6：Friendly greeting on arrival - made to feel welcome. Unit was modern, well furnished and appointed, spacious, with private courtyard and garden area to sit out in. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend to others.
Review 7：Spotlessly clean rooms, comfortable beds, very friendly and helpful owners. Bookings for Abel Tasman Park can be conveniently made at reception desk. Great location for trips in Tasman Bay area. We will definetly come back :-)
Review 8：No cook top not a major as most motels don't have them today
Review 9：very nice modern rooms,staff very helpful,the best WIFI package we have had on our travels ,rooms very spacious, we traveled around for two weeks and this was my pick of motel to stay thanks.
Review 10：Wi-Fi was slightly problematic, I was not able to access my outgoing email server.
Review 11：Room was spotlessly clean and had all advertised facilities in top working order. Owner/manager was very friendly and helpful. Location was ideal for visits to Abel Tasman park.
Review 12：1. No breakfast was offered 2. before we had arrived and eventhough I had asked that I will pay cash and had called and spoken to the reception that we will get there at 9pm, she charged our card. I had to ask her to refund it but given the FX variance or bank changes, I got the equivalebt of 30$ less back on my card.In case of no-show the card could have been charged in the morning.
Review 13：We like the cheerful and helpful staff, the quiet of the room, the ease of booking tours through their office. They even called us to let us know we left something behind before we got out of town.
Review 14：Was a little noisy due to main road not too far away - during early morning especially. Maybe if downstairs it would have been quieter - but not a big deal. Maybe a bit on the expensive side.
Review 15：Fairly new, modern motel. Good facilities - nice shower and room. Was a 5 minute walk into shopping part. Not too far to restaurants etc.
Review 16：If I had to criticise it, I'd say the wifi allowance is very small, but both my boyfriend and I were using it on multiple devices which could have used it up faster.
Review 17：We stayed at Nautilus after doing the Abel Tasman trek and so it seemed like pure luxury. The rooms are tastefully decorated, clean and provide all the facilities you could possibly want from a motel. The staff were also very helpful and friendly which made a big difference.
Review 18：very noisy rooms from main road despite double glazing. Mean spirited to limit Wifi and no sky movies for the price. Even local cafes give wifi!! Outdated DVDs at reception.
Review 19：Large Immacualte room
Review 20：The rooms closer to the road may be disturbed by traffic but it did not bother us. The town itself is not very attractive although you will find eating places and good grocery shops. The motel is at some distance from Abel Tasman but the 25 drive is enjoyable.
Review 21：We had spacious studio with separate bedroom and combined living/kitchen. We also had small balcony. Everything was in excellent condition and we truely enjoyed our stay in this well run motel. Wifi worked well but there was a limitation in terms of the use.
Review 22：The room lacked a little character with minimal artwork, cold lighting and a wall that had no adornments other than the TV screen. The couches were a little too minimalist to be cozy for relaxation at the end of the day.
Review 23：Clean, tidy and friendly, great location. The room was spacious and well equipped. The room service was of very professional standard. Everything worked well and was in good condition.
Review 24：Had a handicap bathroom, which was fine. However, water didn't drain right so floor was wet all the time. Could be a design problem.
Review 25：Very friendly, funny, and helpful.
Review 26：Great hosts. Very friendly and helpful. Stored our luggage (even when we already checked out) for the day as we were canoeing and hiking at Abel Tasman. Nice big room, perfect location and great Wifi!
