Really good place to stay. Whakatane doesn't have a lot of options, but this place seemed like the best balance of location and cost. The kitchen is smaller than most hostel in NZ but there are less people. It is set up for longer term resident, but is very accommodating to backpackers. The admin people are very relaxed. One thing to know is the charge 5% on credit cards so find an ATM near the center of town (10 min walk). There is also parking and nicer more expensive single units available for people who don't want a dorm setting.

Good value for money and location is a 10 minute walk to main part of town. Dorm rooms and kitchen are a bit tired but do the job, no lockers and dorm room door was open all day. Some helpful advice from the owners about nearby walks. Seem to be several people staying there long term which kills the vibe a bit for backpacking. Nice common areas inside and out. Clean bathrooms

This BBH is the worst I stayed in New Zealand. First, a chinese woman at the reception is very rough, gave me no information about the white island and activities to do in Whakatane. Dormitory where I slept was 8 beds in small room (no space to put bags), noisy and not clean, no possible to sleep. The day after, I want to change and pay more for a quiet room, the receptionist woman was upset and give me back money. She didn't respect me and talked to me as a dog, not as a customer ! I am not recommend this backpacker hostel. Bettter you sleep on beach than this place !

This is a really great hostel. The owner, Steve, was very accommodating. He took us for a drive around the area so we could look at all the beautiful scenery and he told us about the area. Honestly one of my best hostel experiences, so far.
The beds are comfortable and you can have as many blankets as you want, all freshly cleaned, unlike many other hostels. Additionally, tea and coffee is free, as are the herbs and spices for cooking.response / report this review
