Finally a hostel in new zealand that is able to provide the essentials: body wash in the showers, private light and outlet next to each bed, and even a curtain for privacy. A rare gem and the best one I have been to so far. Also really quiet and has a no smoking/vaping policy even in the courtyard

It was very convenient that you can do the online pre-check in a day ahead your booked date/arrival. This step made the check in seamless. The staff was very accommodating.
Rizza, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, basic hostel accommodation. Well equipped kitchen, friendly & organised welcome on arrival. The only thing is the walls are thin, so I had next door's tv coming thru one wall and the other neighbour's snores through the other. But, it was well priced and reasonably central. A good place to stay when you juat need somewhere to sleep.
