Nelson Hostel in a Great Central Location

We are lucky to be located in the heart of Nelson City which means you can walk to all the cafes, restaurants, museums, movie theatre, shops and so much more right from our doorstep.

The famous Nelson Saturday market is located in the Montgomery Carpark right beside us!

We are also a great place to base yourself to explore the Nelson/ Tasman Region and the local National Parks - Abel Tasman NP, Kahurangi NP and Nelson Lakes NP.

Our reception staff look forward to welcoming you to our Nelson Hostel

What people say about our backpackers hostel

The dorms are clean and comfortable, there are plenty of amenities including a well stocked kitchen, TV room, lounge and outside seating area with BBQ. Although there are plenty of people staying at the hostel it is nice and quiet which is really welcome after some of the places I have stayed.

The hostel is really central, just 200 yards from the bus station and 200 yards from shops, cinema and restaurants.
