Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Incredibly beautiful place surrounded by nature. I could have easily stayed there much longer. The manager is really nice. One of the best hostels I've stayed at in New Zealand. Incredible forest in the area, looked like Jurassic Park :)

    Great location could walk to everywhere if you wanted. Walked the Paparoa Track so was ideal as the shuttle left from the camp and we were able to leave our car at the camp while away knowing it was safe The track ends just about opposite the track. So convenient. Also being able to shower after the tramp was heavenly.
