1. Cat Boarding Prices in Nelson
At Nelson Cat Hotel, cat boarding costs NZ$35 per day for the first cat and NZ$24.50 per day for each additional cat. The price does not change according to which condo setup your cat uses or how much space they prefer. Instead, we choose the accommodation and play setup that best suits the individual cat. When comparing boarding options, also ask about medication capability and what happens if a cat needs veterinary help.
2. What Is Included in the Daily Boarding Rate?
A condo setup chosen for your cat’s comfort and mobility
Reduced vertical space for cats that should avoid jumping, including arthritic cats
Smaller two- or three-room setups for cats that feel safer in more compact spaces
Larger connected setups for cats that enjoy having more room
Full, supervised access to the play area for cats that enjoy socialising
Private 1:1 play sessions for cats that prefer individual attention
3. The Right Condo Depends on the Cat
We do not assume that more space is always better. An arthritic cat, for example, will not be put in a setup that encourages unnecessary jumping or climbing. Some cats feel safer in a smaller, more enclosed space, so we may open only two or three connected rooms for them. Other cats enjoy having more room and can be given a larger configuration. The aim is to match the condo to the cat, not the price.
4. Play Time Is Tailored Too
Cats differ in how they like to spend time outside their condo. Cats that enjoy socialising can have full, supervised access to the play area. Cats that prefer their own company can instead have private 1:1 play sessions. We adapt the routine to the cat rather than forcing every guest into the same setup.
5. Daily Rates, Individual Setup
The daily rate at Nelson Cat Hotel is NZ$35 per day for the first cat and NZ$24.50 per day for each additional cat. Charges include arrival and departure days. What changes is not the price but the way we set up the stay. We choose the condo configuration, amount of vertical space and type of play time according to the cat’s mobility, confidence and preferences.

6. Tell Us What Your Cat Is Like
When you book, tell us anything that helps us understand what makes your cat comfortable: whether they like lots of space or prefer a smaller safe area, whether they enjoy other cats, whether they prefer one-on-one play, and whether they have mobility issues such as arthritis. That helps us choose the most suitable setup from the start.
When you know your dates, you can check availability and book.
