We've been on the look out for a small motel since we moved back to Nelson in 2020 knowing that accommodation was an industry we wanted to try our hand at. When Boutique Motel popped up it felt a little like fate; here was a wee motel in Stoke and only 2km from our cafe. 

What we saw when we looked at Boutique Motel was a very tidy, very clean Nelson motel that had a great location and a tonne of potential.
