New units. With everything you need. Automated self check-in system was great. Beds were very comfortable. Very quiet. Good location, near small park for children to play. Great communication from the owner by text. Highly recommended.

The room was extremely clean, more than big enough for the two of us and the hosts were extremely nice and down to earth. Great location with exceptional views of the amazing Kaikoura coastline and nearby Kaikoura mountain range. Added bonus for me was that the room has Sky Sport which was brilliant to watch a couple of Rugby World Cup games on. The hosts also recommended a couple of restaurants for us to go to, and these were amazing too!

Hostel with "older" vibes and family style. Clean and extremely convenient location, loved it ! If you need privacy in a hostel, probably not your best choice.

    Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.
