The room was clean, but the bed was extremely creaky. Being of an older age group, probably not the best place for me, as the young ones were quite rowdy till late hours, also stomping around loudly. One was vomiting loudly in the middle of the night, which was unpleasant to hear. These are not the fault of the property managers, but indicates the demographic you may have to encounter. Other than that my room was clean, bedding was clean with fresh towels. Secure parking. Suited my budget and travelling situation for the night.

Good Vibes, Check In After 3:30pm

I stayed in a private double room before and after the Abel Tasman Track. I was able to leave my luggage in a secure closet at reception for free. The hostel felt homey and had a nice community vibe to it. I credit the friendly staff for that. Towels and bar soap were provided, at least for the private double room. The walls are thin so earplugs are recommended depending on how loud your neighbors are. Kitchen was well stocked, free coffee and tea, and of course the free chocolate \"pudding\" (cake and ice cream) at 8pm. My only complaint is that the Hotels.com confirmation said check in starts at noon (which already seemed oddly early) but reception actually closes during midday and does not re-open until 3:30pm.

This is an awesome backpackers! Located 5 minute walk from town, well equipped for travellers, with plenty of additional thoughtful touches to promote a sense of community for those that stay. Out door hammocks, and garden seating areas, an indoor fire, comfy couches, an electric piano, guitar, a clothing trading chest along with chocolate pudding and ice cream served each night at 8, all promoted a sense of home away from home. Staff were friendly, efficient and the kitchen was clearly signed with instructions to promote a clean well functioning area. There was a lovely vibe and sense of caring amongst visitors. We loved it!

A Great Hostel

This hostel is great. It's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but the bus is only $3 from the airport and it's only an 11 minute walk. They have chocolate pudding every evening at 8pm. *(for Americans, it's not milky, liquidy pudding, but baked \"pudding\".)

It gets pretty cold in the fall/winter. They offer extra blankets, but I still found it very chilly. I really liked the communal spaces and the hammocks, love a good hammock. I think this hostel is probably really busy in the summer, but in late April/May it's less busy.

The people are very noisy downstairs. The positive thing I can say is the place is ok and gardens homey and free pudding and ice cream but yes only good for one night stay coz of the people who stayed there longer are noisy. That’s the truth.

Nice place but noisy main stayer in the hostel

The place is ok but the problem was the stayer of the hostel they’re very noisy talking and laughing up to past midnight as if no cares in the world! The washing room only has a separate hot and cold water literally! It’s either you washed your face or hands with freezing cold or boiling hot water! You choose.

Traveler arrived for check in 2 hours into the designated check-in time and was told that she wouldn’t be able to check in for another hour or so because there was no one to do it. She was exhausted and needing rest after traveling for 24 hrs, and wasn’t directed to a common area to wait, but invited to put her suitcase in a closet of some sort. She was able to check in 45-60 min later, and the space was fine. Just unavailable and confusing at a time when it would’ve been preferred to have the room and check-in process as described.

This accommodation is extremely surprising, compared to many others.

It feels more like a well kept, vibrant and relaxed large house instead of a commercial property, while still maintaining an excellent level of staff attendance, and security and room availability.

All of the guests staying there were very friendly, and there are plenty of sinks, cooking areas, fridges, food storage and bathrooms available.

The lounge area is large and cosy, and they serve delicious ice cream and chocolate cake every single night!

Also, as an extra bonus, there's a very friendly and approachable female cat that always is happy to receive attention.

Recommend 10/10, can't think of any faults at all.

The whole stay was uncomfortable. The walls are paper thin and the other guests were up and loud well past 2am. We could hear them speaking. Not shouting. Speaking. The walls are that bad. The shower curtain had an almost tangible stench. The soap bottle in our ensuite room had been watered down significantly. The spare blankets in the closet had the smell of death on them. I woke up in the morning smelling like the musty mattress, a smell that was difficult to get off thanks to the extraordinarily low water pressure in the bathroom, not to mention the fact that even with shower shoes I felt uncomfortable being in the shower area. I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone. It's the only time I've ever stayed somewhere and genuinely wanted to demand my money back. For the life of me I don't understand the 5 star reviews, they must be from people who usually stay in the free DOC huts.

The ensuite room we had for 3 nights was spacious, clean and comfortable with a superior queen bed. Perfect sleep every night. The ensuite was the biggest i have seen in this type of accommodation. It was also sited privately from the rest of the accommodation. The property was constantly full of clients. Maybe because of this, the weak points were, the kitchen area needed to be managed better that ensured it was hygenically clean and there was a constant supply of clean tea towels. There was no TV anywhere and the onsite parking was inadequate.

stay for the choc pudding

Convenient stroll to town, but chose as had guaranteed street parking which was safer than being in cbd itself. Dorm was warm, nice shower, and the chocolate putting was very nice on a cold evening. Bed was average, pillow the cheapest quality so had to use clothes under it to make it feel like an actual pillow. Simple fix so hopefully they replace with better quality thicker pillows for better reviews in future.

Comfortable and convenient in a nice town.

In a suburban house type area but near town so you can walk to bus station, grocery store, restaurants and shops, etc.
Very comfortable and relaxed.
Nice outside seating areas.
Only the people who didn't follow the request to go to back of house to hang out after 10pm and were talking loudly just below our window made it a bit noisy.
Also would be great if they did away with smoking completely, b/c smoking right outside the front door still creates a lot of stink (and New Zealand is trying to go smoke free! Get with the program!)

Decent hotel outside of town

Stayed in a private room for 2 nights in February. The room was next door to the kitchen and the walls are thin so it was quite loud early and late (especially early with all the drawers being opened and shut). It's a lively, young hostel just outside of town, maybe a 7 or 8 minute walk. It's close to a nice Spring & Fern pub though. They provide free chocolate pudding at 8pm each night. It got quite warm in the room at night even with the window open.

A bit of a walk into the centre of town, but it is in a very quiet residential street so getting a good night's sleep won't be a problem. The rooms were clean and tidy and the free breakfast and also free chocolate pudding in the evening was a nice touch.

relaxing and sociable (but not rowdy) atmosphere

Good relaxing place. A bit of a different approach than most, to encourage socializing over games (with free cake) for an hour every evening. Good kitchen facilities, not closed even during cleaning.
