I've been in Nelson many times and twice I stayed in the Shortbread Cottage. First of all I have to say it is a nice thing that you'll find shortbread cookies on your pillow.

Staying there with my partner was great. We actually stayed there in june 2007 and it was nice back then.. The room was spacious and cosy, i loved the little shortbread they leave on the bed..just a very nice warm cosy place to stay in Nelson with a fireplace in use! I loved that.

This is a cosy little hostel. Our double room was clean and comfortable. Communal areas are a tad small but everyone got introduced so it felt more like a family kitchen/ dining room. Unlimited free WiFi was great as were the shortbreads on our pillows.

Stayed here for one night in a double room with shared bathroom. Felt almost as living in someones home (in a good way). Nice room, clean place and nice kitchen and bathroom. Yummy shortbread on the pillow :-) They only take cash. Room is very good value.
