"Apart from the mens shower having no pressure unless it was on cold, we really enjoyed the stay. My six year old loved George the horse who was very friendly and gentle. The kitchen and outdoor facilities were great. The room was clean, but we found someone else's Vaseline under the bed which was gross; when checking to see if any of our kids toys were left there."

Great location, city central, near to bus depot. Staff at front desk were very friendly and welcoming, rooms and facilities were clean, and you can even have your bags stored for a few days between nights staying there. Would defintetely return here on next trip to Nelson...

A really nice backpackers hostel. The rooms were well put together and warm during the winter. Lots of space in the kitchen and lounge and bathrooms are being renovated. Staff were really helpful and hospitable - I'd stay here again, for sure. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed on my trip through NZ.
