The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection

Nic accomodation. Lovely grounds

When booking this accommodation they need to inform you that the rooms are upstairs. I spoke with a member of the accommodation as we were traveling to nelson for the night, we had just arrived in the south island by ferry arriving at 5-30 pm. On arrival We need to ask for help with our bags which did not go down well with the office staff. We enquired about meals at their restaurant and told the restaurant closed at 7pm. Three adults at 70 years plus of age. I should have been told when we made communcation that the restaurant would be closed on arrival. Office staff need better training dealing with public. The two girls that carried our bags to our room were very helpful to deal with. No help around in the morning to take the bags down to the car. A great welcome to the South Island. The two brothers have health problems that was why were making this trip around the south island. We had to drive back into town to find a restaurant open at this time of night, we could only find MC Donalds.

Charming place, beautiful grounds. Restaurant was excellent

It’s a charming place to stay and very quiet. We found it to be a totally lovely and welcome relief after several days on the trail. They were extremely hospitable and accommodating. Dinner was fantastic.

Great spot with character

The staff were extremely helpful, and the pub downstairs has great quality food and drinks.

Wr had a great stay. Ample parking, beautiful grounds, delicious breakfasts. The room was cozy and comfortable. I would defjnitely stay here again.

Great location, stayed in the cottage very quiet and private, good size room, bed getting a little old could do with an upgrade.

Nice X-Factor to the place

Cosy attractive and warm room. Just where we wanted it to be.

Very comfortable. Enjoyed our stay.

3rd time staying. Staff always friendly & welcoming. Hotel is different from standard branded hotels which makes it a huge winner.

Super convenient with comfortable room and a good restaurant for dinner.

This property is lovely olde world hotel. Furnishings not modern but in keeping with the theme of the place. Clean and quiet room. The food in the restaurant was delicious.

Nice surroundings Easy access

Fantastic value for money, lovely room, very comfortable bed, lovely quaint grounds and the lunch was delicious. We will be back!

The honest lawyer was the perfect place to stay for an early departure at the Nelson airport – the best part was the friendly staff! Ian, the person that checked us in, was delightful – thank you!

The highlight was definitely the restaurant meal. While room was tidy, good range of coffes, teas, continental breakfast, it was very small, especially the shower. Staff were friendly at both reception and in restaurant. Massive outdoor dining and family area. Definitely will be back.

Left after one night, too, too rustic! Ugh!
