Very special place. Exquisitely renovated house and cared for grounds.Spacious comfortable room. Only recommendations- better bedside lamps and a pamphlet outlining the interesting history of the house.

The Golden Lodge is a great place - very unusual in a positive sense. When we first saw our rooms we could not believe this was really a hostel .. The managers were really friendly and relaxed. We had X-mas dinner together with all the other guests, that created a great atmosphere. What may be improved was the directions to the hostel. We saw the building from far but could not find our way straight away as there were no signs indicating the way up.

Golden Lodge had magnificent views, beautiful rooms, lots of character and was in a very central location. The manager, Sam, was very helpful, kind and supportive of his guests. We loved the time that we stayed there. An amazing Lodge in the great city of Nelson!

Very good hostel, fantastic value. Beautiful building, fantastic facilities and good location close to the city centre. Unfortunately, the manager isn't on site usually and some the fridge hasn't been cleared in a while.

Amazing building located on a hill overlooking Nelson so you get excellent views. Only a short walk from the town centre as well. The staff were great, but they didn't really make themselves known to us so had to work it out for ourselves. Would love to stay again though and would recommend it to anyone staying in Nelson. The Sprig and Fern pub down the road is also fantastic!
