This place is excellent. It's definitely one of the better backpackers I've stayed at anywhere in the world. It is spotlessly clean and tidy. We had two nights (January 1 & 2) here in the double private room (room 15) and we were impressed. The communal areas are well stocked and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of utensils, crockery etc. The dining area is good too. There's an excellent lounge and seperate TV area for when the weather is poor (often in Greymouth). There's also a spa, washing lines and helpful, friendly staff. The bathrooms and shower area are kept clean. The whole place is decorated with a distinctly global feel in keeping with the place's name. Most is African - it's all very colorful and pleasant. If you're looking for a budget friendly accommodation option in Greymouth, this is a good option.

Proper stay in the area

Greymouth was a stopover for Franz Josef, we didn't expected much out of it. The backpackers is cool, despite the amount of people staying within, we didn't get any disturbance on the noise at all. Either the place soundproofing system is good enough or the occupants are all very considerate. The kitchen was packed with the most complete kitchen utensils I have ever seen in backpackers for a while. More importantly, everything is very well upkept and clean. We enjoyed the cooking session while we were there. The shared bathroom are very hygienic too. Thumbs up for the management for keeping the place a comfortable stay.

A very neat place to stay...

Super fun and cool Backpackers ! Nicely decorated with an interesting vibe. A really neat place for a night. Bathrooms very clean and equally nicely decorated. We almost never stay in backpackers, but would stay here again for sure.

Nice hostel

Everything was very good. Staff was very helpful. The only problem was that Expedia didn’t specify that it is shared bathroom. It mentioned private twin room. But no mention about bathroom. We were taken by surprise. Though the bathrooms were clean and well maintained, we would have definitely preferred private bathroom. This MUST be specified explicitly so that we can make informed decision.

Good for a one night stay

It has everything you need for a one night stay! Really love the comfy bed only downside was there that were having some renovation work which involved loud drilling. Other than that, all is good. Really enjoyed my stay!

Great hostel

Great hostel. Quirky (in a good way) design and it l felt warm and very welcoming. We only stayed one night but would have happily stayed for longer.

Great Backpackers

We stayed one night and were sad to leave and would have loved to have more time to try some more of the amenities available. Great communal kitchen with an emphasis on being enviro friendly. The room was uniquely decorated in tribal pieces, with comfy beds. The shared bathroom had a similar style of decoration as the bedrooms. It wouldn't be everyones cup of tea but I would definitely stay again.

Fine for a hostel

Clean facility and friendly owners.
As long as you are comfortable with shared bathroom and hostel accommodations this place is fine.
Be careful booking this place on websites other than directly with this location as their shared rooms don't always appear as such. You can wind up booking a larger room room than you need.

Nicely themed hostel

Friendly staff. Clean. Minutes walk to a nice pub. A good stop on the way to Franz Glacier. We liked the theme and decor to match. The kitchen seemes well stocked. For a hostel experience, this ranks toward the top.

Beautifully decorated friendly place !

Welcoming staff, beautiful rooms (we were 4 people staying in 2 private rooms)
The kitchen area was tidy. Not enough showers when it's a busier time in the year maybe, but for us at the beginning of Octobre it wasn't a problem. Absolutely recommanded !
