Great, cosy, friendly place to stay. 15 minutes walk from the coach station, 15 minutes from the centre of town, close to loads of hikes, but also very peaceful in the evening. All the staff were really amazing and helpful, particularly as I missed the only bus from Picton and the guys rearranged my stay no worries. I found this hostel to be the most friendly place I have stayed so far in NZ and was really easy to make friends and find other people to do hikes and things with. Also there's free pudding every night! Really can't fault this place. Thank you to all at Tasman Bay.

This is a beautiful backpackers! So friendly and warm, very homely. The staff were awesome and they have done so well to create a family feel within the backpackers. Its hard not to socialise in this place even as an introvert. An easy place to force yourself to talk to others even when not in the mood because of the friendly environment. Would 100% recommend a stay, its not too far a walk into the town centre. Be sure to stay in for the evenings as they bake an amazing chocolate pudding ever evening for guests. Thanks for a beautiful stay!

This was one of my favourite hostels while travelling around. Common spaces were clean and comfortable. Rooms were big and comfortable. I really liked bunk beds, because they were wooden and shaped into a L-form so there was more space for the person sleeping on the lower bunk. Every evening they offer you free chocolate pudding, which is more like a cake but I loved it! Apparently also vegan friendly! Really enjoyed my stay there, would recommend.

This is such a welcoming, friendly and comfortable backpackers. I have stayed here several times over the last few months and am always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome, especially by Fran, who is great and so helpful. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The chocolate pudding in the evening is a brilliant chance to sit, relax and chat with other travellers. This is by far the best backpackers in Nelson and I highly recommend it!

Laura

Amazing hostel with an awesome lounge. There are always people playing games and music. The kitchen was very clean all the time and very well equipped. The staff was always very friendly and a few of them used to hangout at the lounge after their shift and just having fun with the backpackers. Every night at 8 pm they are making free chocolate pudding with ice-cream for everyone for free and it is delicious! I would definitely come again!
