Don’t miss this motel
Hadn’t stayed at a backpackers motel before, couldn’t believe how good and varied the facilities were. Breakfast was homemade scones, or toast, delicious, and included in price. What a wonderful introduction to the South Island.

A great place to stay - affordable, friendly, super helpful owners Nikki and Gary. A homely, welcoming atmosphere. There's a piano in the shared dining room, a lovely spa pool and access to everything you need in the kitchen. I'll be back!

Quirky accommodation (converted caravan) which wasn't what I was expecting. Friendly, helpful staff. Distance from bathroom facilities a bit of an issue during the night. Very noisy with loading/unloading from the wharf - especially on a still night. But for $80 a night one has to be pragmatic.

Fabulous
A fabulous well run hostel full of interest and fun. Lots of communal rooms and gardens. Basic bikes to borrow for free and so we saw more of the area. 10/15 min walk into town. Home baked scones for breakfast.
