Excellent pudding, very nice living room, cosy fire, hot water bottles, books, games, chilled music, guitar - actually you are the perfect hostel. I wish every place I go would have a hostel like yours

Maria, Germany

The little extras, herb garden, hot water bottles, free bikes - it feels like you are staying in a home not a hostel. I Loved it here. Thankyou so much

"The little touches in the rooms & toilets are awesome eg. bedside lamps, shelves, hooks, cartoons and pictures. The layout and design of the hostel is cool. Totally encourages getting chatting to others. Music played is also cool."

Michelle, Ireland

The staff is amazing but more important is that I was welcome in your hostel and I could feel it everytime

“We run Tasman Bay Backpackers in Nelson - a truly beautiful and exhilirating region in New Zealand. We like to think our Hostel 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, play a game and have a few laughs. A place which you remember and want to go back to.”
