The house itself is very quaint, it paints a nice picture on Air B&B. We were looking forward to our stay here, but on arrival realised that in actual fact it a backpackers hostel, which is not mentioned anywhere. The room was pleasant, but realised later on that two of the beds were trundle beds with a sheet of wood to stop the spring base from creaking. This piece of backpacker engineering wasnt really successful, but was a great acoustic accompaniment to the impromptu guitar and bongo drum concert that started up in the room next to us.

We are a family travellin NZ with young children and this was communicated to Dave prior to our arrival, however it was not mentioned that this accomodation would probably not suit us. As a backpackers hostel, it has great facilities and the location to Nelson City Centre is great, but not suited to our needs. I would recommend this place to backpackers, but not to those travelling like us. It was very clean and organised.
