Our group accommodation is ideal for:

  • Sports teams and supporters

  • Dance and performing arts groups
  • Clubs and community organisations
  • Wedding guests and family gatherings
  • Conference and event attendees
  • Corporate teams and contractors

Whether your group is coming to Nelson for a tournament, competition, conference, wedding, school event or regional tour, Admirals provides a comfortable base close to the city and many important Nelson venues.

Accommodation for Sports Teams in Nelson

Nelson hosts rugby, football, basketball, cricket, cycling, running, dance and other sporting events throughout the year.

Admirals Motor Inn is a practical accommodation option for teams, coaches, managers, officials and travelling supporters. Our range of studios and multi-room apartments gives organisers flexibility when allocating guests, while free on-site parking makes arrivals and daily travel easier.

We are conveniently positioned for groups attending events at locations including Trafalgar Park, the Trafalgar Centre, Saxton Field and sporting venues throughout Nelson.

After a busy day of competition, your group can return to comfortable, self-contained accommodation with space to rest, prepare simple meals and get ready for the next day.

School and Educational Group Accommodation

Admirals welcomes enquiries from school groups, educational organisations and families travelling to Nelson for academic, cultural and sporting events.

We are located close to Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls and offer easy access to central Nelson and other schools and venues across the city.

Our team can help group coordinators choose an appropriate combination of rooms for teachers, supervisors, students and accompanying family members. As every school group has different requirements, we recommend contacting us directly to discuss room configurations, supervision needs and availability.

Group Accommodation for Weddings, Events and Family Gatherings

Bringing family and friends together for a Nelson wedding, reunion, celebration or special event?

Staying at one property can make the entire occasion easier. Guests can enjoy their own private accommodation while remaining close to the rest of the group.

Our studios are suitable for individuals and couples, while our one- and two-bedroom apartments provide additional room for families or guests travelling together.

Admirals is also conveniently located for visitors attending conferences, performances, exhibitions and major events in central Nelson.

Admirals Motor Inn provides practical group accommodation for businesses, contractors, project teams and employees working in Nelson.

Our self-contained rooms offer guests the flexibility to prepare breakfast or simple meals, while complimentary Wi-Fi helps them remain connected during their stay.

We can assist with short-term projects, recurring business travel and longer group stays. Direct arrangements can also simplify communication and invoicing for employers and booking coordinators.
