  • I understand your complex is located next to the main road. Is it noisy?

    Amber Court Motel Nelson is located on Annesbrook drive, Tahunanui which is one of the main roads in and out of the city. This makes us easy to find and great for attracting passing potential customers. Most of our units are towards the back of the complex, with the ones closest to the road fitted with hush glass.  The most common feed back we get from guests is that the road noise is not an issue. The unit closest to the road is fitted with hush glass and this does make a big difference.

    We do not charge commission on bookings made direct with us via phone, email or directly from our website.
