Summary: A really nice backpackers hostel. The rooms were well put together and warm during the winter. Lots of space in the kitchen and lounge and bathrooms are being renovated. Staff were really helpful and hospitable - I'd stay here again, for sure. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed on my trip through NZ.

Summary: What I liked is you can't enter the property so easily because there's a gate/door with a code

Summary: There are people who stay there permanently, thus it felt more crowded than expected. Expect it to be way busier in summer months with the perms tourists.
Had irresponsible people who didn't clean up their dishes and left it in the sink, food left untouched (for god knows how long) in the microwave toaster.
