I loved my stay, it was out of the ordinary, quirky, interesting, warm, friendly. The bed was comfortable, staff were friendly. Talked to other guests and learned from them, shared experiences. If you are after a fun, friendly, comfortable place to stay, this is the place. Oh and another bonus is the location, just a 3 min walk from the Ferry! Perfect
All the staffs are very kind and very thoughtful. They welcomed every visitor in very nice ways. The special treats provided every 7p.m. is really really nice. You can feel they really care about if you are comfortable even you only stay for few nights. it was my best experience among all backpacker hostels in South Island of NZ.
