Over Tasman Bay Backpackers

We run Tasman Bay Backpackers in Nelson, a truly beautiful and exhilarating region in New Zealand. We like to think our Hostel might be like your favourite cafe, a place where you are totally relaxed and comfortable. There is good music playing, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is just right. A place which feels good to be in, a place where you might have a coffee, a glass of wine, play a game and have a few laughs. A place which you remember and want to go back to. Free hot chocolate pudding and ice cream every night! All our rooms are sunny, colourful, spacious and warm. The hostel has a great range of rooms from dormitory style to private rooms with and without ensuite bathrooms. We know a good night's sleep matters - our rooms are cosy and warm in winter with heating, winter weight duvets (soft feather ones for the private rooms) and all our private rooms have inner sprung mattresses and we are upgrading our dorm rooms to inner sprung mattresses too.
