Big hostel but the manager keeps the capacity limited, so that your dorm is never full - max. 2-3 people per dorm! Cute cat and dog onsite. I could borrow a bicycle for free! You can also book Tongariro transport very cheaply. The best WiFi I've encountered in a long time. If you need to do something online, this is your place!

You feel just at home here, you meet such friendly people. Sandra (the host/owner) is so nice. She loves to chat and help you with making plans in the erea. She helped me book the tongariro crossing(mordor/mt doom) and was super easy. It is one of the best hostels I had.

I stayed to experience the pods. They are brilliant. All your stuff fits in ,no clatter in the room. No disturbing people with a bunk bed noise or movement There is a light,PowerPoint and USB port inside. Blind to close it off. Steps no ladder. Nice courtyard with grass and numerous seating options. Central location and big car park next to the backpacker. Enough hobs and sinks in the kitchen. Nice to see compost bin in the kitchen for a food waste and recycling.
