Port Nelson is the largest fishing port in New Zealand nestled in spectacular countryside. Fresh fish, scallops, clams, and mussels feature on the menus of creative chefs. Nelson winemakers are renowned for aromatic varieties—a perfect match for seafood. Or you enjoy a cold ale at the end of a day of exploring—craft brewers are a plenty with serious pubs and breweries everywhere.
The award-winning Grand Mercure Nelson Monaco Resort, located in the heart of the sunny city of Nelson, is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere. All of its cottages, restaurants, and facilities are nestled around a beautiful, village-style setting. Gorgeously landscaped around its own quiet stream and village green, it’s the perfect place to disappear and relax. Imagine visiting beautiful Nelson and never leaving your hotel grounds! Well, it’s not that hard when there are accommodations for up to 235 guests in 33 one bedroom cottages, 25 two bedroom cottages, and 19 hotel rooms. The beautifully furnished cottages are the main feature of the Monaco Resort creating a welcoming village feel.
Each cottage is uniquely furnished with French doors which open onto the Village Green, the stream, or your own private courtyard. The hotel itself has twenty boutique rooms and an equally stunning lobby enclosed by a timber-beamed ceiling affording a quiet place to have a relaxing drink in the evening, looking out to scenic views across the Monaco Peninsula.
Surrounded by picturesque cottage gardens with handcrafted buildings overlooking a grassy village green, this is a multi-million dollar resort with heart. The Grand Mercure Nelson Monaco is built from handmade bricks and timber salvaged from the Nelson Wharf which was built in 1842. Charming one and two bedroom cottages are quaint in character and luxurious to inhabit. Even its restaurant, The Orangerie, is carefully themed in a French-Provincial style to fit with the allure of yesteryear. Within the Monaco Village there is a boutique jewellery workshop, an award-winning hair salon, a luxurious health and beauty salon, along with a solar heated swimming pool and gymnasium.
The Hotel has nineteen rooms, all offering distinctive interior decor, queen size beds, en suite bathroom, tea and coffee facilities, Sky TV, and telephone plus a writing desk with high-speed internet. Each room varies in style and size and have their own wardrobes, iron & ironing board. The spacious lounge lobby is just the place to relax at the end of the day with a fine wine or local lager. Hotel rooms each feature elegant furnishings and a superior standard of comfort with views of colourful cottage gardens and Nelson’s mountain range.
Monaco’s self contained cottages vary in style and size and are set in classic cottage gardens, with hanging baskets, climbing roses, individually planted window boxes and French doors opening to courtyards, or the Village Green, or an ambling stream.
The Resort is conveniently located on the beautiful Monaco Peninsular, minutes from the airport and city, on a piece of land right by the sea with lush greenery and breathtaking views across the water to the mountains.
