This has to be the most unique hostel I've stayed in yet. Lovely beach theme, with a focus on the beautiful birds of this beautiful country. I encountered a wild Week while hanging my clothes to dry!! It's only a few hundred meters to the ocean, which you will likely be the only one there. In my opinion, the dining room and kitchen are the best parts of this place. It has such a quaint and home-like feeling to it. We connected with all the other guests via a nice dinner, which has an incredible view of the sunset. Also, the proprietor is incredibly kind and quite funny. Enjoyed some quality banter with him. Over all, I am looking forward to returning to this hostel. Hopefully it will be soon :)

Neil was extremely friendly and accommodating host. The place is interesting with a theme around birds with each room named after a bird. They have washer and dryers here and a great view of the beach. There's not a ton of rooms here and the one I stayed in was a bit small - twin bunk room.

Friendly staff. Great sleep (good beds). Good living/ communal area (has fireplace). Has lots of boardgames for rainy nights. Good recommendations for where we could head next.

I spent few days at this place and all I can say is, this guesthouse was my favourite during my 3 weeks in New Zealand in 2013. The owners were just lovely and very kind, and very helpful when I needed some advices about places to visit. I extended my stay for 2 extra nights because the place was so relaxing. The beach is not far in front of the hotel, you can maybe find some greenstones if you intend to visit Hokitika. Kitchen is fully furnished, and beds were very comfy at that time! More of that, Kerry is very talented artist and decorated this place nicely. I bought some cards of animals of NZ painted by her and they fit nicely in some frames at home. Nice souvenir! I fully recommend this place and hope to come back again one day!

Big fully equipment kitchen. Great view to the sea. You get free of 200 MB. The rooms are rather small. It's close to the highway thus it's often loud.
