My stay was great, but the kitchen was too small for the number of people staying at the hostel. Now that it is high season, it was complicated to cook or prepare something quick. Also, the activities shown at the entrance aren't updated or don't exist.

A pretty cool place that’s like an upscale-ish backpackers hostel. Best thing is it’s location which is right smack in the main centre! Only downside is parking—you either book their parking for a fee, or park in the paid public parking right across the hostel. Not a problem overnight coz free parking from 6am-8am. Also, the only heating available are oil heaters, which unfortunately isn’t quite enough. But overall, a great accessible and convenient place.

good location, the rest I didn't much care for

The room was very small. the kitchen is of course shared which is fine, but people would take some of the utensils and dishes and there wasn't enough sometimes. The fridge was not as well organized as some of the other places. I would probably choose a different place next time but I am older and this is more suitable for younger crowd, and I get that.

Great location and stay

Great experience start to finish. Warm welcome from reception, the pod beds are ideal for privacy and provide a light and fan which is great. Kitchen was being moved to upstairs which will make it ideal with the social/dining area, that would be my only issue as it was then. But location perfect, car park right next door for about £3 hour 8-6pm

Loved it here!

This is the best hostel I stayed at during my entire trip around the South Island and North Island!!! Having a pod with a full privacy screen felt like my own little space. I crawled out of my pod one morning to hear someone snoring and realized I couldn't hear that or anything else while inside my pod!! I stayed here 4 nights and would gladly return! Showers are hot and large space/hooks to put belongings on! Staff was friendly. Laundry is great priced and dryer worked great!

Disliked: Staff & service
When I arrived I checked in on the tablet in the lobby and went to my assigned room where I found there was already someone in my bunk. That person and I went to the lobby to figure out the problem. The person working was at a 1/10 on giving a crap about it. Finally, once it was sorted out I found that the plugin for electricity in my bunk didn't work. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting, not clean at all. The room was very hot, it didn't seem to be temperature controlled.

Great location, iffy quality facilities. This property was very mid for me, I felt like it focused more on feeling trendy than providing quality spaces. The Pods in concept are great, but the pulley/ window shade bed situation doesn't really work and is hard to use. The white plastic lets light through from other pods at night, and they are a little creeky. That said, the location is absolutely fantastic! the staff were helpful, and I had a totally fine stay here.
