I stayed 1 night in a 3 bed rooms at Foley on a Saturday night. The room was big enough and the bedding was great with really comfortable beds.

This hostel has several buildings around a garden. What is great to relax, having dinner or do a barbecue. The rooms were fine, a little too dark, but clean. The only downside is that many of the rooms (not all) open onto the garden and you have to go outside to use the bathroom. The two kitchens and two living... More

If you need to cook, you can choose between many kitchens. If you wanna relax, you can choose between different living rooms. You have many places you can hang around. I couldn't say there... More

We stayed at this hostel after flying over from Aus and this place turned out to be a great start to our time in NZ. We arrived late in the day due to our flight times, but this caused no dramas at all, with the staff organising everything ready for our arrival. We met the staff the next morning who... More
