A backpacker lodge at 335 Trafalgar Square East in Nelson, next to the Nelson Cathedral. We hear the lodge has changed its model and now offers long-term accommodation only, for a minimum stay of one month. Enquiries go by email to stay@innbetween.co.nz or by Facebook message.
Rooms are a mix of backpacker dorms with personal lockers and private rooms for budget and luxury travellers. The lodge has free wifi, spacious bathrooms and a fully equipped shared kitchen with an open dining area. Balconies overlook the cathedral gardens and courtyard. The lodge is within walking distance of the centre of Nelson, and about 15 minutes' drive from Nelson Airport. Owners Wayne and Anne Trott bought the building in 2001 and renovated it in 2015 in a contemporary industrial style. Our pick in central Nelson for a stay of a month or more.
