Mr Ben, the owner, was the best hostel owner I’ve ever met in NZ! His staff were amazing, too - Matty & Micah, Carmen, Isis, Ai, & 1 more nice guy - they were like my family for my entire 7-day stay! My 8-bed dorm room was very spacious, love the new pine bunks, lounge area & kitchen/dining area also were very spacious! Location was perfect, smack dab in downtown, 5-minute walk to the InterCity bus & local bus stations & Countdown grocery, 1-minute to the main shopping/dining/cafe street, library is across the street, town center is a 2-minute walk! The staff does the laundry for you for a fee. The best part, I was there for the week of Christmas and the owner, Mr Ben, provided & baked a ham & chickens and they were the best baked ham & chickens I’ve ever had - perfectly seasoned, plump, juicy, & sooo tender! He even provided the wines & beers!!! About 1/2 the hostel guests & I participated in cooking/making the side dishes & desserts!!! He even reserved the TV for a group movie time on Christmas Eve & provided popcorns!!!! you rock, Mr. Ben!!! even made signs for the free soups I made for everyone from the leftover chicken & ham bones & meat scraps for soup bases!!! It was the best Christmas ever away from home!!! Thanks a million, Mr Ben & your amazing staff for the best hostel & staff in my 7-wk stay in NZ!!!! Isis, thanks a million for helping me carry my luggages down the stairs!!!
