We loved it! ##### Ricky Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Great Hostel This hostel is great. It's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but the bus is only $3 from the airport and it's only an 11 minute walk. They have chocolate pudding every evening at 8pm. \*(for Americans, it's not milky, liquidy pudding, but baked "pudding".) It gets pretty cold in the fall/winter. They offer extra blankets, but I still found it very chilly. I really liked the communal spaces and the hammocks, love a good hammock. I think this hostel is probably really busy in the summer, but in late April/May it's less busy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christina 14 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Traveler arrived for check in 2 hours into the designated check-in time and was told that she wouldn’t be able to check in for another hour or so because there was no one to do it. She was exhausted and needing rest after traveling for 24 hrs, and wasn’t directed to a common area to wait, but invited to put her suitcase in a closet of some sort. She was able to check in 45-60 min later, and the space was fine. Just unavailable and confusing at a time when it would’ve been preferred to have the room and check-in process as described. ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Vibes, Check In After 3:30pm I stayed in a private double room before and after the Abel Tasman Track. I was able to leave my luggage in a secure closet at reception for free. The hostel felt homey and had a nice community vibe to it. I credit the friendly staff for that. Towels and bar soap were provided, at least for the private double room. The walls are thin so earplugs are recommended depending on how loud your neighbors are. Kitchen was well stocked, free coffee and tea, and of course the free chocolate "pudding" (cake and ice cream) at 8pm. My only complaint is that the Hotels.com confirmation said check in starts at noon (which already seemed oddly early) but reception actually closes during midday and does not re-open until 3:30pm. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed in queen double room with ensuite.
