We stayed in a 8 bed dorm for 3 nights. On check in there had been a power cut and the generator for the whole village had gone down. Fair enough, we stumbled to our room in the dark and hoped that at some point heating would return to the building. The heater in our room was an electric heater... More

I stayed a couple of nights in an 8 bed dorm. I arrived early but was unable to check-in until around 2pm. Hostel was very clean and the showers were always hot which was perfect after a long day's hiking. Kitchen and lounge area were fairly small for the number of beds though and were always too busy. Comfortable beds... More

The beds were so comfortable! Love the whole concept of the cozy wooden cabin dorms. Rooms and all sharing facilities were extremely clean.

There is... More

Great hostel. Small and cosy, without being overcrowded. Although I was in an 8 share dorm, there was still plenty of space. Great kitchen and bathroom facilities. Lots of information and very friendly staff to help with 'what to do'. Great location too!

Lovely hostel with food supplies for sale at reception, nice kitchen, nice staff, nice sauna and all you want from a hostel. Atmosphere very friendly and relaxed. Kitchen& rooms nice and clean. Easy to find.

Arguably one of the prettiest spots on the South Island, especially if you love snow covered peaks. The hostel was a great value - there were a lot of people there but it never felt crowded. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and quaint. Quick 5 minute drive to hiking trails and the restaurant.
