Awesome super friendly vibe, very nice owners that will help you plan your activities. For a hostel in a small village the room is very high-end, comfortable beds your own socket & all. Good showers, even though dorm was with a lot of people it is built in a way that doesn't feel crowded.

This hostel was better than I expected. It is not really a party place as some comments I have read suggested. I liked the kitchen and the outside area and that there was enough space in the room for everyone's luggage.

Queen bed in a room. Four bathrooms meant one was always free. Two kitchens. Tonnes of outdoor seating/table space. Super short walk to supermarket, liquor store and the pub at the end of the street. Right in town near outskirts - short walk to anywhere. Close to many natural attractions - can walk to some if keen.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels i have stayed in so far. First of the staff is really helpfull and kind, felt right at home. The hostel is really nice, it has a big garden with hammocks, pool tables, a cinema, an inside living room and a fireplace where u can roast marshmallows every night. The location is good aswell its on walking distance from the beach and the park and right next to the kayak hire and water taxi. Dorms and beds were great aswell!

    Great facilities, friendly and informed personell and within walking distance of Abel Tasman national park. They helped me organize activites and informed me where to go. They came and picked me up and dropped me back of i Kaiteriteri. The best hostel I stayed in during my NZ trip!

    So far the best hostel I stayed in NZ! The owner as well as the staff is super friendly and extremely helpful - they always assure all the guests are doing well. We spontaneously decided to do a camping trip in the Abel Tasman and they provided us a tent and sleeping bags. In case of bad weather they have lots of board games as well as a cinema and pool tables, nice indoor and outdoor common area.

    Amazing facilities, very fun and sociable hostel. Comfy beds, lovely staff, great location, good for meeting people and learning about the area/finding out things to do in Abel Tasman. Would 100% recommend.

    It's probably the best hostel I have ever been in. The staff were amazing, and the whole place was so cosy. Thanks, guys, for the fantastic experience and the good chats.

    Great location very close to Abel Tasman NP. The style of the dorm rooms made out of shiping containers is unique. During the summer a great place to stay. There are even an in-house cinema and pool tables. The upper bunk beds are a bit high, but all of them have two outlets and two USB ports.
