This was a delightful spot in Franz Josef. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kind. The facility was spotlessly clean and well equipped, even with a few extras like a yoga space and bicycles. We had a very comfortable stay and wished we’d planned to stay longer as other accommodations of a similar type and price afterward in other towns did not have the same standard. Thank you for the stay!!

Looking for a hostel?

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.

    The best hostel we have stayed in New Zealand. Modern, cozy, great shower pressure, spacious kitchen with dining area, there is even sauna with cold shower outside. Super friendly staff and in general nice atmosphere. We extended our stay for one more night and would definitely stay again.

    A crowded and obviously popular Hostel in the heart of town ... Which turned out to be small but full of tourists... The staff at the hostel were friendly, helpful and informative... Showers were hot, Bed Comfortable and a well equipped kitchen ... Great mix of backpackers, workers and tourists were staying in this really nice Hostel

    Surprisingly good free breakfast including cereal, pancakes and toast. Other amenities too, and well set up for socialising. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.
