This property was spotless room amazing ' but no chair in room or shampoo . The shared kitchen area was clean plenty of breakfast to use ' but the noise from the train is tough to take even for me a heavy sleeper. The property was used by about 12 or more islanders who sadly did shift work so at 2.00 in the morning they are awake cooking talking far to noisy & would think it might make female clients feel un safe when using toilets showers .

Perfect for what I needed. Just a pity that one of the girls that was in the room snored all night. Not much the owners can do about that.

Good value
Exceptional value for backpackers and people who want to travel cheaply. It was a pleasant environment, good kitchen facilities and the communal showers were hot and powerful. Position was perfect for travellers without car. Right next to train station and ferry.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check-in was smooth and easy. Caitlin and Nicci were not present in the hostel when I arrived but had left me a nice note w instructions and key to my room. Facilities basic but v clean. But to clarify, this is not a hotel but a hostel. I had booked a private room w a double bed, which was spartan but comfortable (might be nice to have a reading lamp?). Bathroom/shower area (co-ed) downstairs. Great that breakfast is provided, and other guests I met were nice and cleaned up after themselves. But I was woken up just after 3am (!) by a half dozen people making themselves breakfast, laughing and talking quite loudly, clanging pans and dishes around, as though completely oblivious to how loud they were. And I'm a deep sleeper. Went on for a long while, kind of ruined my sleep. I've no idea how regular this is, but that should not happen, even for a hostel? And for my one night stay I was not paying hostel prices ($85NZ). A sign somewhere said that breakfast was available from 6am onwards, but with no one was on the property to enforce this nothing could be done. I opened my door at some point looking at them quizzically, didn't want to be 'that person', but nothing changed. :(. This explains my rating. The good thing is that they're right beside the train station, which meant I just trundled over there in the morning at 10 to check in for my trip.

It was an amazing stay. From the time I arrived until the time I left, I felt like I was with family. Everything was cleaned regularly and supplies were replenished as necessary. The owner takes pride in her property and has great compassion for people. I plan to return.
