    The hostel was pretty much perfect, the only thing I had an issue with is when I was out during the day they moved all of my belongings (presumably when cleaning) but in doing this they pushed a lot of my stuff under someone else’s bunk and onto the floor. But apart from that it was a great hostel

    Beautiful, super clean home away from home, lovely host who was very helpful and easily contactable. Lovely to arrive to a warmly lite house, host had put heatpump and lamps on before our arrival, was much appreciated after our drive up from Southland. Added bonus of a bath tub and lovely coffee machine. Will definitely stay again.
