Cozy town. The Mail Boat is a must for a day trip (6hrs). Mussel Pot has great food!
This is by far the best hostel in town. I visited during the weekend and all of the long term backpackers eat and drink together. We had an awesome night! Wish i could stay
Special thanks to Dan!
Great place to stay. Really cheap, Clean and the staff are amazing. Highly recommend.
I stayed here for a couple of weeks. It's nice, quiet and clean. I like the living room. Kitchen is small but basically got everything. The manager is kind and easy-going. The price is reasonable also.
I lived in Havelock for my WHV at Rutheford Lodge Backpackers was my home.. I meet a lot a nice people in that place.. Its a beatiful place if you want to stay.. HAVELOCKO!!
clean, big and spacious area, very homely decorated.. just feel like home.. very spacious n fully equip kitchen.. easily can accommodate many people cooking at once.. dining n living area no doubt u can have a dozen people dining or just laid around.. i stayed there for 3 months i just loves the quiet area
We stayed here in February of 2011. It was a great place, very quiet (aside from the worst snoring I've ever heard throughout the night). Havelock was a pretty sleepy place and this hostel captured that. Be sure to have a read of the old hostel journal and read notes left from people from ~1970 onwards.
The tv in the lounge was a huge bonus as we stayed there the day of the Christchurch quake and could catch up on the news.
