The Almond House became my home away from home while I was living in New Zealand. The facilities are FANTASTIC and Paul and Fiona (and the kids!) are really welcoming and ready to assist in any way they can. I was a long term resident here and I loved every minute of it! You get a wide range of travellers... More

I stayed a few nights here in a double room in the main house. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome by Fiona, and the whole place just oozed class and comfort. The bedroom was spacious and spotless with plenty of storage. The bed was large and extremely comfortable. The shared bathroom was also kept immaculate.... More

I arrived late in Nelson and I saw Almond House in the BBH. I gave them a rang and it was no problem for me to come. They gave me the choice to sleep in the main house or in the backyard/garden house. I took the last one for 2 nights and I have noooooo regrets! The backyard was big... More

The best backpackers I have stayed at in New Zealand to date. Spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet, plenty of amenities including hammocks in back courtyard and free internet/wi-fi. Fiona is a lovely and helpful host. Cheers!

I was just there two weeks ago. The place is super clean and the reception lady was very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a cozy b&b to stay in Neslon, this is definitely the place. Highly recommended.

The Almond House is the place to stay in Nelson. It is so peaceful with beautiful rooms and facilities. The owner and staff were amazing. The outdoor courtyard is a great place to relax in the hammocks or sit in front of the fire. Stay here, you'll love it! Thanks from Dan and Imogen

Really awesome place, I absolutely recommend it. Very friendly and professional owners, very quiet, calm neighbourhood, clean, for every age, close to city centre. Free Internet and Wifi. I got very good information by e-mail from Fiona about activities before I arrived. Everything perfect! Thank you very much!

I keep going back here because it's everything I need when staying in Nelson. No big bus groups, good kitchens, clean rooms and a relaxed vibe. Only a short walk to town and very close to an organics shop AND a fish and chip shop. The owners are lovely.

My partner and I moved to Almond House for a few days after a bad experience at another hostel in town, and sooo glad we did.

the Almond Hostel is one of the best Hostels I ever stayed. The Family and stuff was very friendly, helpful and every time cheerful. I was there for 18 days and very sad, when I had to leave this comfortable place. I appreciate the clean and comfortable rooms, enough space to bake my scones in the well equiped kitchen. Quiete...
