Probably the quirkiest place I have ever stayed but in its unique style, it really does work. All the bedrooms are named after animals The owners are super friendly and can't do enough, even the hostel dog is friendly ha ha. Met some really nice people during my stay and would totally recommend it. Clean, quiet, comfy ...and quirky! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A94796840FA2A2233643557854573E4A550FC4581708926087103.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/995C518765BEF08776A3A6B2B4850562F82FFA691708926087572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E5F6F44E2073046238176F9D0BC67BF43EFE535A1708926081206.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18817C2BD975DC61CE3D9C5FC9CF96544AB9C8601708926083152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott 14 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The kiwi room ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Winter break Well-located near the railway station. Wood-burning stove keeps things warm and plenty of hot water for showers and washing-up. I spent a few days here between train services and explored by renting a bike and a car. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 4 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is like a villa from the last century, it has high ceilings and beautiful windows. Every bedroom is dedicated to an animal and has well made, funny graffities on some walls. ##### Ruth Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great people in command, room was great. A few kitchen implements missing though the main stuff was all there....Thanks for a good stay. Roger ##### Roger Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael 30 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lack of maintenance and overall upkeep of the place. We looked forward to the Spa pool as advertised however we were told it required maintenance. We read on the website that there would be a small selection of coffee, cereal and toasts however there was none during our stay and it had appeared to be removed from the website. Enquired about the winter deal (pay for 2 night and get a 3rd free) after the phone call the owner changed the deal online and didn’t honour it. Beds were also uncomfortable and extremely squeaky. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### frank 9 Mar 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Service was poor from the start. I had to wait some time while she fussed over an American couple. When I finally got served a very poor attitude come across. Didn't mention wi fi to me nor towels/face cloth, I had to come down & ask. Sink taps at end of hall for monkey room-hot tap didn't work at all & cold tap so loose you could the whole tap through 90 degrees. Our dorm fairly full & I on top bunk. Some clown came in at midnight & turned his cell phone on & started fossicking amongst his gear. Woke me up & god knows how many others. Place was in poor state of repair. Look run down. ##### frank Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Old and worn but nice and cosy on the other side Old and worn but nice and cosy hostel. Beatiful old house with a small garden. Nice staff. Situated in the centre of the town. Close to (to walk to) the railway station (I traveled by train), restaurants, large grocery store, other shops, bike rental, car rental, nature and harbour walks. Greymouth is a small town but still the largest town on the other side (the least populated side) of New Zealand's South Island. Common kitchen and common room, as you expect in a hostel. Easy to meet new people. There were no lockers for luggage or valuables. But that is probably not necessary at this place. There was only a single power socket in the whole (dormitory) room. There was, however, a multiple socket extension lead so that there was a power socket for each guest in the room. But there was no power socket close to each bed, something which is important today with our dependence on smartphones. The only important negative thing for me with the hostel was the lack of a power socket at each bed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 26 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a fantastic place, the room was spotless, bright and cheerful. The kitchen was spotless and very well outfitted. The shower, bathroom and toilets were exceptionally clean. The reception was very knowledgeable and helpful. All and all a great experience, thank you. ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Eine liebevoll gestaltete Ankunft ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marc 17 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Bof une des moins bonne auberge de jeunesse que nous avons fait.

Very clean, well organised and welcoming. Owner’s pets will not tolerate any right wing captain America nonsense and will chase red baseball caps. Highly recommend. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Nelson](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nelson-Hotels.d6194600.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aSFO-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Bourtzi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Bourtzi-Hotel.h1227626.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-White-Hart-Hotel.h11062547.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Porthmadog](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porthmadog-Hotels.d182880.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsokkos Protaras Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larnaca-Hotels-Tsokkos-Protaras-Hotel.h12663745.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Handlery Union Square Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Handlery-Union-Square-Hotel.h6666.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chase Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuneaton-Hotels-The-Chase-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h15661974.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nana-Bangkok-Hotels.0-n553248633976358764-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d179898-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bayou Hotel Langkawi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Langkawi-Hotels-The-Bayou-Hotel-Langkawi.h93163821.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Inn Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salford-Hotels-Stay-Inn-Hotel-Manchester.h1381716.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/las/london-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Lytham St. Anne's (BLK) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/blk/ncl/blackpool-to-newcastle) ### Cars > [Car hire in Stowmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Stowmarket.d602157.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Alnwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Alnwick.d55232.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Llandudno.d5621.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Mojacar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Mojacar.d182349.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Larne Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larne.d182720.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Volos Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Volos.d10287.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Syros Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syros.d6143222.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Ravenna Beaches](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ravenna-Beaches.dx6338295) > > [Visit Cheddar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheddar.dx182485)
