One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in whilst travelling in NZ north island. Very friendly staff (I assume owners) and great facilities for cooking/cleaning and a wonderful garden to relax in. Really easy street parking, with some decent sized stores in walking distance as well.

Was a good stay, the dorm was a bit weird tbh, it was also the access to another room, and separated by a wall that only reached just above the upper bunk. Other than that, nice lounge area and friendly staff

Loved it. Very friendly and comfortable. The dorm room was a little cramped, but fine. Has a great backyard hangout.

We stayed in a twin room, this meant we were on the B&B side of the property. This was a lovely and very traditional B&B, we had very comfy beds and there were a good number of showers and a lovely shaded veranda where we could relax in the afternoon. Not got too much to add, it was quiet and served its purpose very well!

Sweet building and nice garden area with free roaming chickens. The bunk beds, rooms and the kitchen were okay.

Everything was great except there was only one shower so we ended up waiting for ages for people to finish. Other than that it was genuinely one of the loveliest places we’ve stayed. Even then, when I did finally get in the shower, it was lovely and warm and had nice pressure

There was only one toilet available for more than 8 people. The male bedroom was like a half wall. So whenever people would walk to the female bedroom we could hear everything. My bedsheet wasn’t properly clean. The duvet had been already used by someone else, smelled like someone else. Crazy. I was lucky I had another duvet in car. The wash room is great. The kitchen is also very well maintained. Just the bedroom which is the most important part was terrible. Also the bunk beds were too squea...

Not the best but worth it for value in the area. Not my favorite stay but cheap. You get what you pay for.

Lovely quiet little hostel at the back of a B&B. Easy to socialise, or keep to yourself if you wish. The staff were friendly and helpful. Clean kitchen and bathrooms.

Really really enjoyed my stay here. Upgraded from a hostel to a private B&B room when i arrived and so glad i did. Such a relaxing stay- did yoga on the front porch, drank lots of tea and even took a soothing bath in their claw foot tub. Location is right on the river with a lovely walking trail that will take you across the river and to the main sites in town.
