What a gem of a hostel! Our private room had a beautiful balcony that overlook the forest and the beach. It was very clean and cozy, and the bed was really comfortable! Would definitely stay again!

We appreciated the manager letting us shift our separate rooms to one two bedroom cottage at the last minute. As the heavy rains came during the night, we were beyond grateful that we were not in a tent or in a small metal "economy room" with no bathroom! We were safe and sound in a lovely two bedroom cottage with a well equipped kitchenette, large living room, covered deck and a walking path to the ocean (before the rain came). We were only there one night, checked in late and left early, but our time there was greatly appreciated.

We wanted to do a late check in to enjoy the day visiting some places, and we couldn’t because they never took our call, in which the booking description said to call them if we needed this. (5 phone calls with no answer, straight to voicemail). The place where we stayed wasn’t a room at all, it looked like it was a storage shed and they just placed a bed in there, the door didn’t close properly so the cold air was coming in as well as the insects. Linens were dusty and the duvet moldy. Room had spider webs and a lot of dust. We almost slept in the car that night but we were too tired and needed to lay down, so we laid down our own towels, folded back the duvet and slept on top of the sheets.

We loved this accommodation! Such a neat experience staying in the middle of NZ native bush land right on the coast. Super close to where we wanted to be & it had everything we needed & more than expected. Very cool experience whether you are a kiwi or international traveller

Very Pretty Area close to the beach
The hut or home is old but situated in a beautiful area. The single room I used is not suitable for tall person as the ceiling is very low (it’s an attic room) easily bump head to the padded wooden beams.
