Noisy kids running up and down the hallway (but thats not the accommodations fault.) Easy drive to Whakapapa so good spot! Noisy heater fan in bedroom when it was closed. ##### natasha Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cody 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Good for price ##### Cody Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jasmine 8 Aug 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the family room because of the heating was excellent, However the backpackers needs staff as there were guest hogging amenties such as moive room and kitch area gets over crowded ##### Jasmine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandeep 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities Love you ##### Sandeep Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### S 24 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent for what we needed and ok price. ##### S Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charisse 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The water has low pressure dificult to shower but this is the only concern.

It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other attractions in the area ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoang 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities . ##### Hoang Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nimesh 29 Jul 2025 ##### Nimesh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abraham 27 Jul 2025 ##### Abraham Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Indika 18 Jul 2025 ##### Indika Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Soman 14 Jul 2025 ##### Soman Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandeep 5 Jul 2025 ##### Sandeep Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marvin 27 Jun 2025 ##### Marvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucky 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Lucky Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoang 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very affordable, convenient location.
