Great location for what we wanted to do. Good facilities, backpackers kitchen, bar, restaurant and lounge areas to relax in. Spa pool was nice.
Great location for a short walk into the town. Also great for a short 15min drive to Hobbiton. The welcome food of muffins and bread was a welcome treat and great to have some breakfast options as well. Host was super friendly checking in with us when we first arrived, telling us all about the resident alpacas and giving us to food to feed them and the sheep. But left us to it and made it known she'd be available 24/7 should we need her. It was great having our fur baby join us with a safe outdoor space for him to hang out.
Cheap (for NZ) for what you got. Fairly spacious room. Convenient for driving onto exit roads in the morning, Air conditioning was a bonus (many other budget NZ hotels didn't have it).
The location was good. Pretty sunset views from the hostel garden. Free parking was very convenient. Cheap stay. Kayak and surfboard rentals were available.
Really like the privacy of curtains on the bunk beds and how sturdy they were. Also the convenience of a plug in each bunk for charging devices safely. lockable cupboards for possessions were good. The hostel had a welcoming and friendly vibe and good for socialising but not too loud late in the night too, so a great balance as a solo traveller. Facilities clean and tidy, cleaned well every morning.
It is a real backpackers and not just a bed space! It's set in the beautiful village of Raglan. The hostel offers a seated area with a view over the water. There are super facilities and areas where one can socialise. The staff are friendly and efficient. I have stayed here several times. Book early as it is very popular and there are very few budget properties in Raglan.
Good center location. 2 streets back from the water front. Plenty nearby places to eat and drink and get coffee and close to water sport tourist attractions. Others, a walk or quick drive such as Huka Falls and hot pools. The hostel is as to be expected if marked as a 3 star accomadation. Clean enough, safe feeling, cheap accomadation in convenient location but very basic. Bedding included, but you should bring towels and toiletries.
great location. Good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. this is a budget place but is great value for money. it accommodates backpackers and our room was near the shared kitchen and dining room which was a a bit noisy. do not go there for Fancy but for the location and staff friendliness
The best hostel kitchen we've seen - really big space with enough hobs, pots and pans etc for multiple people to cook at once. Lots of fridge space. Very Clean. Lots of fridge space. Great views. Well heated bedroom. Easy check in. Parking on site (although pretty crammed and we did get blocked in by another car). Great location near the centre of town.
A great location but it is a really tired motel I would probably call a backpackers standard. It was very clean but there are funny extension chords and multi packs all over the place not giving a sense of safety….. reception were really efficient and friendly….. a nice stay but I didn’t think it value for money
