Tasman Bay Backpackers is your perfect pad for exploring Nelson and the top of the South Island. Famous for being the sunniest region in New Zealand. Stay in dorms or private rooms, with a homely vibe.
The hostel is located just a 10-minute walk from Nelson’s city centre. But the real magic lies beyond the city—Nelson is the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Home to the famous golden sand beaches, the Abel Tasman Great Walk, and some of the best kayaking tours in New Zealand.
Tasman Bay Backpackers is the perfect choice to explore Nelson and beyond.
Why backpackers love it: Free hot chocolate pudding and ice cream every night (yes, really!), hammocks in the garden, and a super social vibe. Plus, it’s the ideal launchpad for Abel Tasman adventures.
