Situated in Levin, 47 km from Arena Manawatu, Zachary's Motel features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 47 km from Palmerston North Convention Centre, 26 km from HortResearch and 45 km from Massey University. The motel has family rooms. The staff was very helpful when I asked for extra bed while I arrived in last Thursday. After 2 days of departure, I found out that my daughter's pillow was forgotten in the room, and the staff replied my email quickly and we came back to pick-up. Awesome service we've got. Thank you.

Located in the heart of the city of Wellington,The Marion Hostel offers a range of backpacker accommodation and features a rooftop terrace. It is just a 1-minute walk from Cuba Street where you will find a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. Free high speed unlimited WiFi is offered throughout the property. it is THE best hostel in the world, for real. Everything was like in the pictures and even better. the staff is super nice and welcoming. The facilities are so pretty that at some point you doubt that it is a hostel - it could be a hotel! Everything was so clean, the staff does cleaning more than once a day in public areas. Showers and toilets are the prettiest ever. And that is one of the few hostels in this country that offers basic things for cooking for backpackers - there was coffee, tea, sugar etc, cooking oil and even milk (also dairy free) for communal use. Other hostels should learn from The Marion how to do a proper hostel!
