A good hostel, clean rooms, sweet on your pillow, good location to the city. The staff have good discounts so think about booking your tours here before hitting the information centre. Also a good spot for parking your car. Be careful of ants in the kitchen too, keep sweet things in the fridge. The biggest let down is the lack... More

My best friend and I lived at Funky Green for a couple of nights when we were road tripping around NZ in 2012. The rooms were clean, the kitchen was tidy enough and the facilities were good. What really sold it though, was the location (It was a very nice 10 minute walk to the center of town) and the... More

We stayed at several backpacker's hostels and several hotels in New Zealand and this was the best by far. It was clean, the staff was friendly and very helpful with suggestions of things to do around the area. They were happy to arrange pick up to several of the attractions and point out discounts to some through booking at the... More

Good, well organized backpackers located very close to a grocery store. Owner friendly and helpful. We liked that they had a double room with an ensuite bathroom.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Funky Green Voyager for 3 nights but should have stayed longer. The cleanest hostel we found in our two-week tour of the North Island, our double bedroom with en-suite bathroom was like being at home. Nicely furnished, new bathroom, great shower, lots of room for our backpacks and suitcases. The owner treated us like... More

Dismal rooms, dirty nylon bed sheets and no heating during the cold wet spell. This place needs updating. Go to the YHA instead.

Unlike some other hostels, the atmosphere at Funky Green Voyager is friendly and comfortable. The staff is well-informed, offering recommendations for attractions in addition to handling bookings and providing vouchers. Within walking distance from the city centre and just one street from the grocery, the location is quite convenient. I highly recommend this hostel!
