Good value. Warm room.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom room with toilet. It was basic as expected but we still found it very comfortable and very good value. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would have no problem with staying here again.

Went out of our way to go check in and no one was available at 3pm. Multiple people queueing up to check in with no one in the office to help, even contacted the help number on the door and waited around for 20mins but no reply. Room was super hot with no fan and nearly impossible to sleep. Also had no toilet paper in our private bathroom. Only stayed there one of our 3 nights booked.

Value for the money you pay. I was very happy. Might not be for fussy people though. The number given to confirm late arrival was engaged till the afternoon. Had me worried as I was trying advise I’m late and organise receiving key late.

Used soap in shower, floor was not vacuumed and lots of dirt and dust / sticky floor. Sink was visibly dirty also.

Found a massive cockroach in the room. Initially the overwhelming smell of what I thought was cleaning product made me happy to know the room had been cleaned but it didn't dissipate.

You get what you pay for and this place is perfectly adequate. There were plenty of minor faults, such as a missing lightbulb, one severely flickering lightbulb, lack of on-site parking for the number of units available. We couldn't figure out how to turn the TV on using the universal remote provided and one of the bunk beds had loose screws that made the ladder pretty wobbly. But given it's the cheapest place in town that's not overly surprising. It is nice and secluded and it's nice to be able to let the kids run on the grass outside.

The mattress was hard so were the pillows, back ache and sore neck for 2 days. Had to ask for extra towels.

Very loud. Can hear everyone walking outside. Basic if you need somewhere to stay it’s good but won’t be staying again unless im desperate. Hard to sleep lots of noise. Toilet roll holder was broken hard to use. No fan in the bathroom so mirror fogged up.

Cleanliness needs to be improved. One of the workers was staying in the dorm and had her stuff spread out all over the floor. Was woken up to the manager yelling at a guest and kicking them out of the premises.

Backpackers with an awesome vibe! I stayed in a private room and it was super clean, everyone was really friendly and the communal facilities were awesome (heaps of space and extremely well laid out). I didnt encounter staff while I was there (checked in late and out early) but you can tell that the staff put their heart into the property. Three things which Id recommend you consider: 1. wifi signal isnt super strong 2. no recycling (this makes me sad given how focused NZ is on their Tiaki promise) 3. The deck around the rooms is wooden and can be subject to stomping in the early hours - not ideal if youre assigned a room in this area and are a light sleeper.

Our one night was perfect. You can tell they take pride in this property. They vegetable garden and free avocados were a wonderful surprise. I would definitely stay again.

This is without doubt one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in, very clean, great atmosphere and comfortable beds. Josh, the manager is so helpful and very knowledgable about the local area, I did not want to leave!
