I've read so many good reviews about this place and recommendations in tour books, but my experience was this: I went to their website and submitted my reservation request. I heard nothing back and then resubmitted my request. Nothing. I then went back to the website and checked everything again and still no word on confirmation. Our trip schedule was... more

I have stayed in many hostels across NZ and I would rate this as the best. It is extrem clean and comfortable. Location is central without the hassle and noise of being central. Owners are very welcoming and cant help you enough. I would stay there again without hesitation. more

Having backpacked through New Zealand twice, I can definitely say that this is the best, cleanest, friendliest hostel in New Zealand. It's more like a small boutique hotel then a backpacker lodge. The owners are incredibly friendly and obviously love their job and the hostel. Everything is incredibly clean, and the place has a lot of character, with little couches... more

My partner and I travelled throughout the South Island from 25/10/08 and for the first week had his 10 year old daughter with us.

Accents on the Park is very much one of the new breed of "flashpacker" hostels. My double room was modern, clean and nicely decorated - apart from not having a TV or ensuite bathroom it could have been in a fancy hotel. There's a decent, comfy lounge area and a clean (but small) kitchen. There was a party of Chinese... more

The wireless internet was acting up quite a bit when i was there and it is very expensive. The hostel refuses to make any calls to onward book any other backpacker... more

Accents on the Park was great value for money. The location could not be better, in the center of Nelson town and across from the Cathedral. My husband and I stayed in an ensuite room while my daughter stayed in the dorm. The rooms were clean and comfortable and I was surprised to see the kinds of accompaniments you would... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend for three nights in December and I have nothing but good things to say about this hostel! The owners treated us like friends, introducing us to other guests and really going out of their way to help us with our calling card issues. The hostel is new and very clean. We had a room... more

I had very little time to plan a recent trip to New Zealand and Australia. Fortunately, I was able to book a room online at a beautiful hotel called "Accents on the Park" in Nelson, New Zealand (northern end of the South Island, and a gateway to Abel Tasman National Park). The property is a large home that was completely... more
