The hostel is located just five mins walk from the main street (far enough away to avoid inner city noise but close enough that it is an easy walk to shops, cafes etc). It is a hostel which attracts a wide variety of nationalities and ages (not usually group travelers) and we try to ensure that everyone feels welcome and enjoys their stay (of course). Outside you'll find a well used outside hammock, swing chair and edible garden which includes herbs, grapes, kiwifruit, feijoas, lemons.

All buses and most activity operators will pick up and/or drop off right at our front door. We can ticket buses, water taxis, kayak trips and all activities. We hire out good quality camping gear and offer advice and do bookings for any of the three National Parks in our region. Also available are bikes for you to use (no charge) to explore the area. Off-street parking and free luggage storage. All rooms are of a good size. We have a large selection of doubles, twins, small dorms and two six share dorms.
