This was very reasonably priced at 85 for me and my daughter for 1 night. It was a cute clean small room with 2 single beds and a mirror. The shared bathroom was clean and approx 2metres away from our room and the shared kitchen & lounge within 5-6 metres away. My daughter is in a wheel chair and although its not an accessible place i was able to wheel her up the step to our room and bathroom easily. There was a beautiful walkway over a bridge with a skate park, wonderful childrens park and beautiful views one minute away walking. The room got slightly cold but there was extra blankets the beds were comfortable. Staff friendly and not annoying

I always enjoy my stays at the Braemar House . Its also a historical building with a fascination history . Its in beautiful condition and an excellent presentation of the old charm of New Zealand not found in modern architecture . Cozy area for group meetings in the patio area and ample size kitchen for gatherings to prepare food . Love it .

Staff very welcoming and informative. Clean property, good location next to the river and not far from supermarkets. Would stay here again however I did have a few little issues. The doorbell outside wasn’t working so I had to wait at the front door for a while until someone saw my shadow in the glass and let me in. The room I was in with the en-suite would be a little bit cramped when full if there are 5 beds and 5 bags/suitcases as there isn’t much floor space. There also weren’t enough plugs. I could only find one set of 2 which wasn’t enough for the 3 of us that were staying there that night, especially as one of them was being used for the lamp. In addition to this, an early check out key deposit box would be good. You may have one but I couldn’t find it, I had to fling the key under the gap in the door to the office and hope it didn’t lodge itself under any of the furniture/slip out of sight.

Lovely older style b&b, and staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, set with furniture consistent with the age of the building. Bed very comfortable. Access to tea and coffee, but no breakfast available. Could use youth hostel kitchen between 8am and 8pm.

The cabin room had gaps in/around the door so it was really cold all night, other than that it was great.

I spent two nights here, alone in the female dorm, which was great. The place is in a tip top shape, great attention to details, super helpful staff. It is near by the river and short distance to town. I would definitely stay again. Cheers

We stayed in the youth hostel family cabin; 1 double, 1 set of bunk beds and 3 single beds. This made it feel quite cramped. The en-suite facilities were basic but adequate. We had access to the kitchen, dining and lounge areas as with any YHA. No mod cons but perfectly adequate. The hostel is close to the river walk and so the town was easily accessed but in a residential suburb.

The facilities were what you would expect for a hostel - budget, but clean and practical. I was looking forward to staying there. The lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful. We booked the family room which had bunks and a double bed just for a quick overnight stop as we were on the way to the snow. Unfortunately the smell in the room of damp/mould/something! disturbed me so much that I really couldnt enjoy the stay and I had a very hard time sleeping because of it. I actually bought a deodoriser at the local supermarket when we were out getting dinner to try and neutralise the smell and I even tried to mask it with my eucalyptus oil that I inhale, but to no avail. Was very disappointing that an accommodation place that has such a high rating had such an obvious damp/mould problem or something in that room. The carpet had stains on it and black patches that looked like there might be moisture or damp coming up underneath. As a nutritional therapist, I have a very serious radar for potential health hazards and I know that breathing in mouldy or damp air with spores in it can pose serious health risks for vulnerable individuals. I ended up with a sore throat the next day and wondered if it was partly because of sleeping the night in a very strong mould/damp smelling room. I dont like to leave any negative reviews for anywhere, but do hope that the hostel takes the time to find the source of the smell and fixes whatever is causing the damp/mould in there.
