Our story

About Harbourside Nelson

Harbourside Nelson is currently being updated and refreshed — we’ve got a new look, a new name (previously Harbourside Lodge) but the same beautiful waterfront spot. We look a bit different to how you might remember us with a new ‘nautical’ paint scheme on the outside and continual upgrades to our rooms. Check in for new photos and our new logo in late August, all part of our change in focus from just another mid-level motel to a boutique waterfront stay.

We sit directly overlooking Nelson’s only marina at 4 Duncan Street, Port Nelson — the only accommodation at the Marina (unless you’re in a boat!). Close enough to watch the yachts from your room or meander the piers. And an easy 15 minute stroll to the city centre along the beautiful Maitai river walk.
