A nice play to stay.

The large room and bathroom. Friendly staff and other guests. Great proximity to town centre and bathrooms and dorm room kept very clean, along with the rest of the hostel.

Only 2 plug sockets by 2 beds..I was in a 12 bed dorm and these were the only plug sockets to use and the main kitchen area was always very cold with no heating. Thin walls and ceilings as everything can be heard.

Very good

The price is super good, room is warm and bed is comfortable, dinner room is good to stay to get some private things done on laptop. Nice staff and easy check in/out. Good location, not far aways from anywhere.

No obvious problem, sometimes the dinner room table is not cleaned very well by the other people.

Great spot

Very good location, around 15 minutes from the coach stop and about 10 minutes from town. Little Laundromat near by, a dairy and a New World. Also there's a classic car museum and diner just up the road, which is AMAZING. The beds were very comfy, the vibe was very chill, and a beautiful view out the back.

When the temperature dropped the room was freezing, there was one tiny heater but it did nothing. There was also only one set of plugs in a large room with 6 beds. Bathrooms not the cleanest.

Great hostel

Great family room (double and bunk beds), really nice communal kitchen with plenty of fridge and freezer space. Generally well kept. We didn't get to try out the pool, but that is also a nice addition! The location is very convenient and the view at the back of the property is beautiful.

It is on a main road

Good just for a sleep and spa

Great wifi, the spa and pool are a great touch and there are loads of chill areas to sit and enjoy the weather and temperture.

The room was way too crowded, I think it had like 16 beds in it, could get very noisy. The toilets and showers weren't very clean. The worst for me was the kitchen it was absolutely a mess, hardly any cooking gear or utensils and everything was dirty.

Good

Great pool and spa, plenty of space for cooking, relaxing and the check in experience was very smooth.

Our room was by the main road and even with the windows shut, could still hear a lot of that traffic. There was also a yr 13 tourism class staying and while the kids were well behaved, felt weird having underaged teenagers running around

The location, facilities and staffs are awesome.

The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain and hence the dry areas were wet

Good value

The room smelled. Maybe from a carpet. And the kitchen wasn’t so clean.

below ace& not worth $110 per night which is why I left early. Also the traffic of trucks was horrendous

Good

The beds were comfortable and the common kitchen well enough equipped. Too bad the weather wasn't great, else we would have used the pool as well.

The room hasn't been vacuumed (I dropped my key and under the double bed was all kinds of rubbish) or dusted in a while.

Pleasant

I liked having my own the shower/bathroom.

Woken up @ 11pm to a Fire Alarm Upstairs kitchen was ok, but I suggest you visit Hanmer Springs Kakapo Lodge to compare their set up. They have a very high standard for a YHA for the same price

Fantastic!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our pets were very welcome, good rooms, and super clean! Great value for money. I would definitely stay there again! It is also beautiful on the deck from the kitchen with so much space.

A basic room well enough equipped for the price.

Nice mountain view from verandah. Enjoyed the spa pool.

Stuffy with window closed but too noisy with window open, Noise was from traffic and something like a nearby fan. Kitchen was not cleaned.
