This is a small friendly backpacker hostel quite close to town yet close to bush walks & rivers. We have a lovely relaxed atmosphere and everyone who stays with us has a great time, in fact most people stay longer than intended! We have hammocks in the garden (& plenty of birds singing), bbq & private outdoor area. Full laundry, kitchen, lounge, internet - all the usual facilities. We provide free tea, coffee, milk & homemade cookies. Also we have free bikes to sightsee on. We offer free pickup & dropoff to busses & have extensive knowledge of the area & New Zealand to help with travel plans. Having storage available is helpful to trampers; we also have camping equipment available at very reasonable rates. In fact, we have everything! We look forward to seeing you at Alan's Place in sunny Nelson.
