    We stayed at the backpacker our first day in New Zealand. It worked out so well we booked the last night of our trip there....walkable to most areas we needed in Nelson, close to the airport, free parking in the lot or on the street, AND chocolate...

    It offered a single room at a fairly reasonable price. No attached bathroom, but the room has a queen bed that was comfortable. The kitchen is fine and the bathroom and showers are adequate.
