Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: the most homey hostel i’ve been to on my whole trip. they had hot water bottles and blankets available, a very cosy living room with books and board games, and free chocolate pudding and ice cream every day at 8pm. the staff were so helpful with booking an excursion for me.
Negative: a bit far out from town (about an 18 minute walk) which is a pain if you don’t have a car
Summary: cosy hostel in nelson
