I'm very happy with my stay here, the place was clean and tidy, the staff very helpful and the pudding at night was awesome.
This hostel could be great but it falls down with a few things. It is a fantastic hostel if sleep isn't a main priority.
The hostel itself is fairly quiet and not exactly a party place. The noise comes from the walls being incredibly thin so you can hear everything even when people aren't being particularly loud.
Even when people are walking around the hostel and coming out of their rooms you can hear it all. It makes people sound a bit like elephants.
The hostel is clean and tidy although a little dated looking. The staff seem nice enough although then hostel manager reminded me a bit of a school teacher at times just checking up and hovering about a little too much.
The vibe of the place is pretty chilled out and I would recommend it to others if they aren't bothered about the thin walls and their sleep.
One of my favo hostels in NZ. Clean, beautiful, really nice and comfy commonroom with a fireplace. Every day chocolatpudding with icecream. And the owners are awesome.
This is the kind of backpackers you never want to leave. I planned to spend 2 nights originally, but ended up staying 3 weeks. The staff are lovely, the facilities are great, the hammock is comfortable and the bikes are super convenient. The pudding contributes to a welcoming atmosphere that allows you to meet some really fantastic travellers and feel completely at home here.
Great real hostel. Clean an well taken care off. Supernice staff. Hospitality in its best form. Abit cold in winter. Breakfast is mostly carbs.
Good Facilities, Easy walking distance to Shops and Coast, Free WiFi, Not too big, Quiet. Free cycle hire, Free Chocolate cake at 8.00pm.
Good vibe, staff were very nice and couldn't do enough for me. Place was clean and the rooms were tidy. Just a really great place to stay, plus free chocolate pudding and ice cream in the evening always goes down well in my books.
Great stay, great location and great staff!
We enjoyed 3 nights here in a double room and enjoyed it. The parking was convenient, the staff were friendly and the shared kitchen was well set up. Tasman bay wants your feedback and recommendations of there is anything to make it better. The only drawback is that it's a bit noisy. We were there over st. patrick's and some people woke us up at 3 am That's to be expected as it's a hostel and has more to do with who is staying at the time. Overall, I'd stay again.
Free chocolate pudding and ice cream each evening what's bit to like! Also clean and chilled out hostel, not about the party. Nice outside areas to enjoy
Great place, very clean rooms and facilities. Crowd seems to be decent too though tend to keep to itself, at least when we were visiting. We took a double room which was nice and close to the shower but not too noisy. Delicious chocolatey desert is served free of charge every evening.
We had a private double bed room, so clean and felt like a hotel. Showers were nice and strong. Place was very clean and plenty of free parking just outside. They serve free cake and ice cream in the evenings too!
Professional and very friendly welcome upon arrival. Provided with everything we needed to know. The whole hostel was spotless. The only down side was due to the popularity of the place it felt quite cramped in the communal areas, particularly the kitchen and perhaps not quite enough fridge space when at full capacity. In saying this the free extras are second to none! The chocolate pudding is glorious. All in all an excellent stay!
