Good service Good place
Martin

Nelya
Fully equipped kitchen, clean room
Sofia
The vending machine didn’t work and there was no soap in the bathrooms. The dryer also didn’t work but I payed for it.
Maria Sol
The best place for rest pre and post tongariro hiking!
Lara
The bedsheets is a little smelly to my standards but all in all it is a nice place to stay. Value for money. It has everything you need. The kitchen has everything and it is clean. Warm showers and clean toilets. It is very near to Tongariro national park so the location is very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sheila
The staff are amazing. Especially to the owner. He helped us immensely. We had a car issue and he helped us and made us feel welcome. The owner went over and above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s not out of pity. You can tell he's just one of those people you rarely come across who are willing to help. Has a kind caring personality. Big shout-out to the owner.
Sheila
Clean, helpful staff and affordable. Highly recommended it and certainly if we’re around the area will use it again. And they got vending machine which I find it helpful everything you need can be purchase at very cheap price.
Brian
We stayed 2 nights in the ‘deluxe’ double room No 4 directly behind reception.
The self check-in process was very easy to use.
I suspect like everyone else we were there to do the Alpine Crossing. So in that context it suited us fine, only a few minutes drive to the pickup point. The room was en-suite, the shower was okay once it warmed up and it had a decent TV with a range of channels.
The kitchen was well equipped.
Overall very good value.

Tried to shorten my stay and check in a day later, they were not flexible and did not entertain the idea
Diane
Kitchen was great, didn't go skiing as summer, clean facilities and secure. All in all great.
David
Good value, clean room and well-equipped kitchen
Agata
Unfortunately, my stay was very disappointing. The kitchen was often dirty and poorly maintained, and basic utensils like spoons were missing. It was also extremely crowded, mostly because a group of staff members from France were constantly occupying the common areas. They were not polite, did not even say hello, and regularly left a mess behind after cooking.
The bathroom was also unclean, and toilet paper was frequently missing, which was very inconvenient. Sleeping in the room was difficult because of constant noise coming from the kitchen. People were having loud gatherings late into the night, making it impossible to rest properly.
Overall, the lack of cleanliness, organization, and respect for other guests made this stay very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and clean accommodation.

Great stay and opportunity to meet others.
Jean-Francois
Great budget location for exploring and hiking the park. Kitchen gets busy and was missing spoons (common issue in shared kitchens- we had our own so it wasn’t a problem, somewhat dated and mostly clean. Liked the easy self check-in as well. Not a rowdy or loud hostel- we stayed here with our kids in a family room and had a great sleep and stay.
Matthew
My first time here. I decided to stay a night on my way up north. My sleep was not good. There was a machine sound that came on and off nearby keeping me awake; a generator or something. The light from the passageway leaked in the cracks around the door; had to put bags in front to stop the light coming through bottom of door. The mattress seemed like it was not flat and was hard to sleep on; wasn't sure if it was the mattress or an uneven floor, I think the mattress; hard to find a flat spot to sleep on; or maybe it was the bed frame itself. My back didn't feel that great in the morning; didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked. The room I was in was Room 14.
natasha
Nice and cheap stay. Noisy kids running up and down the hallway (but thats not the accommodations fault.) Easy drive to Whakapapa so good spot!
Noisy heater fan in bedroom when it was closed.
