Top 10 Shelley Beach Hotels

The location of the motel is terrific. It’s on a tiny hill overlooking the harbour. If you are lucky and get the rooms upstairs, you really have a fantastic view day and night. The room itself is rather simple, but it does have a balcony with chairs and a table. Great for enjoying the view. But be prepared if you are driving there. The slope to the reception is steep and parking is very squeezy. Smaller cars would see an obvious advantage there.

Great place to stay - very clean and well presented, with very friendly staff. Walking distance to London Quay, the main street, supermarket and the RSA is right next door- great evening meal. Our room was a good size with a separate bedroom and small kitchen. The bathroom has a spa bath with shower over it. A rubber mat is provided for safety which was most appreciated. The heated towel rail held 2 towels easily. Bed and linen all very good We could look out over the harbour and into Queen Charlotte Sound. Off street parking,free wifi.

I have stayed for two nights at Palmira Lodge and can recommend it. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and with everything you need. Bed comfortable. Breakfast is good and there are facilities to cook for yourself if you want. BBQ hot tub and swimming pool outside. A car is needed if you want to easily get down to Picton but it is near Waikawa marine. Had a very nice meal at the Jolly Roger there as recommended by Bob. A very welcoming place.

Clean. Service attitude is very good. Quiet place. However, the next door neighbor is really noisy. The TV is open until 1:40 in the middle of the night, and the sound of modern music is muffled. The door is opened and pulled every few minutes, and it rumbles. I'm waiting for the second boot to land, when they're not tossing around. Until the 1:40 car starts, go! What's going on?!

The couple managing the motel were so lovely and kind. The motel was a great base for our week long family holiday around Marlborough, we were in the 2 bedroom unit which was set up well for our family with its own private fenced courtyard being a huge plus. A portacot and highchair was supplied for our youngest. Warm heaters in each room (which were used on a couple wet and cold days) the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals (there was also a BBQ in the courtyard we could have used). The children were also given some Easter treats on arrival. Parking is a little bit tight when busy but easy enough to reverse out as there's a large area on the side of the road to turn around. We loved our stay and will likely be back again 🙂

A very neat and tidy room with the best outfitted kitchenette we’ve experienced in New Zealand’s South Island. Our hosts were top notch and Greg even offered to drive us to the ferry at the end of our stay. They were very accommodating with keeping our luggage when we arrived before checkin and after checkout. Thank you for a great stay.

The location is good, the room is spacious enough, and the sea view on the balcony is really good. There is a splash in the swimming pool downstairs, which is the first choice for vacation and leisure. It will be recommended to everyone.
