Tasman Bay Backpackers
A short walk to Founders Park where Marchfest is being held
We like to think our hostel might be like your favourite café – a place where you are totally relaxed and comfortable, there is good 100% Kiwi 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 board game, share stories, have a few laughs – a place which you remember and want to come back to again and again. We have a mixture of private rooms, and share rooms. The common areas are spacious with a homely feel.
