Thanks for your response.
Unlike the Reviewer, the property and business owner is unfamiliar with what a Boarding House is and therefore had to find a suitable description online:
“In a boarding house, each tenant rents a room or a sleeping area within a room they share with other tenants, rather than the whole house. They share facilities such as the kitchen and bathroom with the other tenants.”
Marieke’s reference to a Boarding House, in no way fits with our centrally located accommodation facility, situated on Nelson’s Golden Mile, a very expensive stretch of real estate in Nelson, which offers six fully equipped, self- contained motel units with 5-star quality linen, a super king bed in a separate bedroom, free parking, free percolated coffee, biscuits, and free, daily, 999GB of Wi-Fi, per person. The guest had an upstairs unit, with more than adequate lighting provided, including a touch-light bedside lamp.
Sorry, that you were disappointed that you did not get a luxury lodge for the modest price you paid while Nelson, which had no vacancies, whatsoever, during the days you were here in March.
With reference to the Reviewer’s comments, “the fancy sounding ‘lodge’ name,” has been part of the Nelson tapestry since 1910, this guest did not stay in the Lodge, she stayed in a motel unit, at the rear of the property away from the road.
The term or word lodge does not always indicate “luxury,” it can also be a shelter, cabin, or hut or a stand-alone building mainly used in connection with seasonal activities.
