Liked the place, was very peaceful and the pool was the best feature which the kids loved. The beds were one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in, had some great nights sleeps. Would have been even better if we had room cleaning everyday, but overall great place to stay.

    The backpacker had everything we needed for our short stay in Nelson. It is conveniently located and the family room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. Some people have been staying long term at the backpacker and we could see that they treat it like a home. They were all working hard to keep the spaces clean and tidy, doing some maintenance, trimming some hedges etc. They were particularly lovely with our children, offering them some toys to play with etc.

    House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.

    It was clean, tidy & it was a two bedroom apartment which suited our family. We booked quite short notice for a wedding we had on. The hotel was very central and close to everything. The school park across the road was a bonus for our small children.

    Lovely little cottage, with lots of cute touches, someone has an eye for design!. Very family friendly, our grandchildren gave it a 10/10, plenty outside space for them. We loved our stay, so have booked again for next Christmas!. Clean and comfortable. Not far from the beach, and right next to a playground for the children.
