"We run two hostels in two beautiful locations - Sequoia Lodge in Picton and Tasman Bay Backpackers in Nelson. We like to think our Hostels might be like your favourite café - a place where you are totally relaxed and comfortable. There is good music playing, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is just right. A place which feels good to be in, a place where you might have a coffee, a glass of wine, a beer and a few laughs. A place which you remember and want to go back to."
