Accommodation

If you are coming to Nelson for the weekend, we recommend you consider staying at:

YHA Nelson by Accents

Address: 59 Rutherford Street, Nelson.

YHA Nelson by Accents is a comfortable and popular 5-star hostel in the heart of sunny Nelson. The YHA is very close to the Theatre Royal and just two blocks along either Hardy or Bridge Street from the Nelson English Centre and The Free House.

Accents YHA Nelson Accommodation

If you would like to stay with many of the other students and musicians attending Ceol Aneas this year then YHA Nelson by Accents is a great option.

They have a variety of room types available including Singles, Doubles and Twin rooms and also Mixed/Female Only Share Rooms.

They only take Direct Bookings for this weekend for Musicians, Students and Ceol Friends to ensure you are all allocated together.

To enquire or make a reservation either contact Royce by email at [email protected]  with “Ceol Reservations” in the subject line or phone Nelson +64 (0)3-545 9988 or 0800 888 335.

If you are a YHA member just tell them when you enquire.

If you do try and book through most websites including the YHA New Zealand Website you will see it shows no vacancy over the Ceol Aneas weekend.  This is to ensure there are enough beds and rooms held for Ceol Aneas participants over the entire weekend.
