Small, warm and friendly and enjoyable hostel, in a very good location on the hill above the waterfront just a few mins walk to the beach or into the main strip of bars etc. From our room (a private double) you could see the sea, and clearly hear the waves as you drifted off very relaxing! We liked that you could rent (slightly beaten-up) bikes for just $5 a day. The jacuzzi was also very welcome

I really liked the location, near to the I site, near to pub and other attractions. I loved how inexpensive bicycle rentals were and also the hot tub and hammock! Wonderful view as well!

This was a beautiful little location to stay. The scenery around the lodge was incredible, and they have a decking leading on to the garden (which is also lovely, and very big! ) where you can enjoy breakfast whilst taking within the scenery. Our room was very nice, and they have a free spa within the garden that you can use.

Room was light and bright with lovely view out of garden and down to the sea. Ensuite bathroom was lovely and clean and also the shower worked well. Appreciated having bed-side lamps as these appear to be a rare thing in hostels in NZ! Guy running the place was extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel cat was really sweet and it was nice to see a pet strolling aroud the place, extremely homely. Greatest thing about the place was the garden. Spa was awesome, the patio was a suntrap within the afternoons and sitting there with a drink looking out at the sea and mountains was some thing quite special! We stayed in a double room but I took a sneaky peek into one of the dorms and was really impressed to see no bunk beds but massive rooms and really decent sized single beds.
