Cedar Grove Motor Lodge

Cedar Grove Motor Lodge is a 23-unit motor lodge at 59 Trafalgar Street, on the corner of Trafalgar and Grove Streets in central Nelson. The property offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, each with full kitchen facilities and an outdoor patio or balcony. Larger units have fully equipped kitchens with dishwashers and open-plan dining and lounge areas.

Facilities. Free Wi-Fi, Sky TV, on-site parking (including space for boats and trailers, and covered parking for motorcycles) and a guest laundry. The central location puts downtown shops, restaurants, the art gallery, Queens Gardens and the river walk within walking distance, and the property markets itself to business travellers as well as leisure guests.

Meeting and event capability. Published material for the lodge does not list a dedicated conference or meeting room, so it is best treated as accommodation rather than a meeting venue. The two-bedroom apartments with separate living and dining areas can host an informal working session or a small project huddle, but any formal programme would need a meeting space booked separately nearby.

Suitability. A practical accommodation base for the delegate or crew component of a Nelson programme — conference attendees, small project or roadshow teams, and business travellers who want apartment-style rooms with kitchens within walking distance of the CBD. Pair it with a dedicated meeting space from the wider Nelson venues listings.
