Harbourside Lodge

About this place

Harbourside Lodge sits at 4 Duncan Street on Nelson Marina in Port Nelson, and describes itself as Nelson's only marina accommodation. It is a small motel-style property directly on the water, close to port businesses and industrial operators, with the Nelson CBD about a three-minute drive and an easy walk into town.

Rooms

Accommodation is a mix of studios and apartment-style units, several facing the marina:

• Harbour One Bedroom Apartment - ground floor with an extensive marina-facing terrace and a superking bed that splits into twins
• Executive Harbour View Studio - first floor with marina views
• Harbour View Studio and Harbour Front Studio - marina-facing, superking or king beds, some with a terrace, twin configuration available with 24 hours' notice
• Harbour View One Bedroom Apartment - first floor with kitchen facilities and a balcony over the marina
• Courtyard One Bedroom and Courtyard Studio - including a unit with disabled access

Rooms include work desks and wifi, and a continental buffet breakfast is included for all guests. Parking is free and on site.

Business and group capability

Harbourside runs a dedicated commercial programme aimed at project teams, repeat corporate travel and longer staff rotations. It offers partner and long-stay project rates, fixed-rate project pricing, group rates, meal budget packages and single-invoice company billing. Charge-back dining is arranged with six Nelson restaurant partners, including the Anchor Restaurant next door, which also delivers to rooms - useful for crews arriving late or working shifts.

The property also lists meeting space for up to 16 people, with breakout room options, catering and dinner bookings coordinated through the neighbouring restaurant, accommodation on site and parking included. That makes it viable for a small planning session, project meeting or workshop run alongside a stay, rather than for conference-scale events.

Who it suits

Harbourside is a practical fit for corporate and project accommodation in Nelson, for delegates who want a quiet waterfront base close to the port, and for small groups needing rooms plus a meeting room and simple billing in one place. Organisers running a larger programme would use it as part of a wider Nelson accommodation allocation.
