Eden's Edge Lodge

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (131)
"Very cute property with amazing views, very generous breakfast and cooking appliances, comfortable beds, and fresh fruit and pastries. The hosts are very kind and so are their cats. The wifi is good. Only downside was finding cockroaches in the food area and the room, but it's also a pretty nature-y place so maybe it's to be expected? That didn't take away from our experience but it's definitely something you can expect!"

"Nice spot to stay for a night. Great location to Nelson shops. We had an issue getting into the hostel as they ask you to call reception, however I did not have a cell phone plan to call. I emailed the hostel and did not recieve a response. We eventually were able to get someone's attention, however it would have been easier if a door code was emailed to us prior to our check in time. On the flip side of the coin, this place is very secure :) "
