Best Hotels in Stoke

I really wanted to give this place a 4 star, but the location of a wedding party opposite my room and the surprising lack of breakfast ( just a box of weetabix and some cookies) made it a little disappointing for me….. That’s a shame as the hotel/pub is a nice place., tranquil (when there is no wedding), a few meters from a great walking path along the coast towards Nelson or Richmond and with a fine pub with good food all on site. The staff are friendly, rooms are clean (if starting to look a little tired) and have most things you could need, even a spa bath! If I was here again however I would investigate the newer and better looking hotel over the road…..

The team at saxton went above and beyond to help us when stranded in Nelson due to having to isolate and having nowhere else to go. They were super supportive and personally checked in on us to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. The room and facilities were clean, tidy and well appointed. I would absolutely recommend

Loved this motel!. I booked really late in the evening and the lovely owner was so welcoming despite turning up out of office hours!. Room was perfect, bed comfortable. Well thought out room. Privacy. Enjoyed the quiet, away from the road. Happy to recommend

very clean room, so far so good, but it is a little far away from the downtown

100% recommend. We stayed as a group to attend a leisure marching function in Nelson. Amazing motels, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable beds, spacious. Fantastic shower best I've personally come across. Kitchen extemely well equiped with full size oven and large fridge-freezer. Friendly owners and so obliging. Great swimming pool and BBQ area. Pool heated. Very close to eateries and the beautiful Tahunanui Beach. We didnt want to leave! 3rd time staying here and will certainly be back again.

Good location but not right on the beach - 10 minutes walk away and all amenities are also a fair distance away so my elderly inlaws had to be driven everywhere, with nothing within their walking distance. Rooms are dated but reasonably well equipped. Parking spaces are small, designed for small cars, not the huge SUVs and trucks that we all wallow around in now. Host David and his team are great, and go out of their way to help. High-speed WiFi, hundreds of Sky channels, outdoor table and a BBQ area made for a great stay. Warm and friendly holiday accommodation - recommended.

Attempting to check in when the property Network Interface was not connected, causing our Card Transactions to decline, was an all to accurate fore-taste of things yet to come. The property owners (Paul and Adele, nominally) had seen fit to 'bugger off' for the holidays, leaving poor Gail (a friend, apparently) to look after everything in their absence. Poor Gail managed to get the Network running, but the room WiFi didn't work. She fixed this, bless her. Then, the Spa bath !! It was filthy and didn't work and remained so for the duration of our 3 night stay, despite the cleaners giving the bath a good clean the next day. My advice ? Stay WELL CLEAR of this poorly maintained and poorly managed property. And, by the way. The outdoor furniture was just shoddy white iron table and chairs, in no way, resembling that in the published photograph.

Stayed one night with 6 birth RV on grassed powered spot in Oct 2023. First off, this site is huge. The largest we stayed on in 15 days of touring South Island. That said, the facilities are clean and all work as they should. Worth noting some facility blocks are locked up in quieter times. Wifi was supplied It is right on Tahunanui Beach which is a real bonus. Take a walk out and it is huge and beautiful in a rugged desolate way. Huge driftwood scatters the sand. The sea was dramatic the day we went and all the better for it. We had a space overlooking it and it was a joy to wake up to. Check in was easy and the map very clear. Worth noting this as it is like entering a small village. If you are staying in Nelson then you could do a lot worse.
