Location

Located at 8 Bridge St, Bridge Backpackers is the closest backpackers to the central city bus station.

We are literally across the road which means no need to carry that heavy backpack too far. Right behind us is where the weekly Nelson Markets are held where you can find great local produce, arts and crafts every Saturday!

For those that enjoy getting the blood flowing we are 15 mins walk to the Centre of New Zealand hill or a 50 mins coastal walk to Tahunanui Beach. Quicker if you hire a bike from any of the nearby bike shops 10 mins. 

Sunny Nelson is located at the top of New Zealand's South Island. It shines with its great outdoor environment with plenty of hiking, kayaking, cruising and biking options, great retail outlets, great seafood, wine and beer, more than 300 working artists and galleries and its great weather and events. 

Find out all you need to know about Nelson at the New Zealand Tourism website.
