Lovely house with a friendly athmosphere. Because there've been so many people around, at the time we've been there it was a bit dirty and smelly in the kitchen...

Fantastic quality of service - free internet, free laundry, free pick up and drop off from the bus station and good kitchen facilities. Really great knowledge of the area and even lent us camping equipment for our 3 day trip to Abel Tasman. Great location within Nelson and a good place to base yourself if you want to visit the Abel Tasman National Park.

Very warm atmosphere, very friendly stuff, nice rooms, bath & dining rooms also great.
Also they do have a Snooker Table and Xbox as well as a 60' TV! I am impressed. Sadly they were booked out for another night.

The hostel is great. The owners/managers are very friendly and helpful, with a thoughtful free pick up and drop off service for the bus station which is really helpful. Despite the location compared to other hostels, it is only a 10-15minute walk from town - (they offer free bikes too), and it's a pretty relaxing walk.
Felt really at home as soon as I walked in, the atmosphere/decor is fantastic.
Thanks for the stay!

The building has its own character that I've never experienced in any other hostel. Some many things are offered for free here (yes, I said free) like pool (billiards, not the water kind), foosball, an XBox 360 with excellent games, a Super huge tv with literally over 200 DVDs to watch, Computers with internet access, and help booking activities and such. Yes, I'll repeat, ALL these things were free. Crazy. The location is a bit out of the way, but if a 15-minute walk from town doesn't daunt you, then this is totally your spot.

Free internet and good value dorm rooms. The building is really nice and the living room and bar area are really big and socialable.

The owner and his son were incredibly friendly and helpful - we were offered lifts to the supermarket and the city centre. The internet was free and there were bikes you could use to cycle into town (for free too!)

The staff and owner. The common areas. The bar was excellent and cheap for people staying at the hostel. The free tea and coffee. The free internet. The decor. Staying at this hostel was like staying with a friend. Without a doubt the best hostel I have stayed at in New Zealand.
