This is the front entrance to Tasman Bay Backpackers. Our hostel was one of the first purpose built Backpacker hostels in New Zealand. There are many advantages to this. The rooms are all of a good size and the layout works really well. |

One of the first things we did when we took over the hostel nearly 10 years ago was to put in this log fire. It creates a great atmosphere and most importantly keeps the hostel really warm. We also have heaters in all the rooms. |

All our rooms are a little different. We use good quality sheets and towels. All beds (inc the dorm beds) all have their own reading lights. |

Our the back of the hostel is a real sun trap in summer time. We also have a BBQ out here that anyone can use. |

What's been said..."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"We loved the warm & welcoming feel, the chocolate pudding, free tea, well laid-out spaces that are open and clean - but not institutional." Jimmy & Carol, USA
"Friendly and really helpful - made to feel really welcome; very clean kitchen and bathroom, nice to have free tea and coffee and big fridges for storing everything." Julia, UK |
