The Bouncing Lamb Backpackers  

Right next to Tahuna Beach on Nelson’s sunny Tasman coast — a freshly renovated backpacker hub just 3 km from the city centre. Natureland Zoo, Tahunanui Beach Reserve and Nelson Market are all a short drive away, perfect for beach days and local exploring.

The Bouncing Lamb is a newly reopened, laid-back hostel with chilled hosts focused on keeping things spotless. Sixteen guestrooms surround shared social spaces and a communal kitchen; bathrooms include showers and hair dryers. Expect picnic and barbecue spots, a common-area TV and easy, friendly vibes.

On-site restaurant, complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, free parking and a tour desk to book local excursions. There’s luggage storage, laundry facilities, a microwave in the common area, and a complimentary area shuttle — plus a roundtrip airport shuttle available on request. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings with the beach steps away.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Luggage storage and convenient common spaces make short-stay logistics easy.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavours so you can taste regional cuisine without leaving the hostel. A communal kitchen is also available for self-catering, and outdoor picnic/BBQ areas amp up the social dining vibe.
