was there 2015 and had a really good stay
Insane Hostel with super friendly owner for a great price.
Definitely one of the best in my opinion :)
Stayed here last year on a 3 month long NZ tour. This was one of the friendliest and most enjoyable stays for me. Marcus and family are quite helpful and supportive. He has some free loaner bikes and plenty of space to hang out if you want to stay in. I made it a point to stay here again on the way back north.
I was only Planning on staying here 1 night as a stop over but ended up being here for 5 days. great place and nice people!
I must say I travelled the whole of NZ and this was one of the nicest hostels I have stayed in. With Free internet and tea/coffee it makes a big difference. Owner is very helpful and will do all he can for you.
This hostel comes highly recommended in my eyes. Plus its only $27 or cheaper. Happy days.
