Has a peculiar ambience but comfortable enough for the one night stay. Be mindful that the Receptionist may not be local so you’ll have to find out information about the facilities or area on your own or elsewhere. Friendly, quiet, private enough, clean, safe. It is a backpackers/hostel so don’t expect a five star treatment.
Fantastic backpacker hostel if you are backpacking in New Zealand. Very cheap and you can meet a lot of people. Also a nice cosy place and the staff are very helpful. The selfmade free dessert on 7pm is a very sweet touch too.
Perfect budget accommodation, probably on the upper edge of what you would normally get for hostel style accommodation. The free coffee, and the water/ice machines on each floor is a bonus. Exactly the accommodation we where chasing in a great location
Amazing facilities, very fun and sociable hostel. Comfy beds, lovely staff, great location, good for meeting people and learning about the area/finding out things to do in Abel Tasman. Would 100% recommend.
One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It was super cosy, modern and extremely clean. Each bunk bed had their own curtains and usb plugs. It is the perfect spot to discover the breathtaking Mount Cook National Park. I did several day hikes and even an overnight hike. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay in at Mount Cook!
Great location near all the action. The common area, Ms. Lucy's bar was the classic social area for a hostel with pool table, board games. The bar was under renovation during our stay, with that open I imagine it to be an even better social area. Note that most people renting this place will go for dorms, this review is for a family room: one double bed and a bunk bed for two. The double bed was huge, probably king size, could have easily fit three people.
One of the best hostels I have been to, very confortable and clean, super relaxing atmosphere, good to meet people. First time I have slept in an 8-ppl dorm by myself! The best organized kitchen I have seen so far with perfect gas cooker, good and clean dish towel, soap for hands (and it is surprisingly not that that common in youth hostels!) Will definitely come back.
Great location, staff were very helpful helping us out with using their phone etc. and directions. As for the hostel, you get what you pay for, don't expect the Hilton. We booked a twin and unexpectantly got bunk beds which was fun 😎.
I loved staying at Oamaru Backpackers. My room was very cozy and comfy, the kitchen and the living room were so nice and bright with everything you need to cook and to relax. Very nice view. So far one of the best hostel I've been to since I'm in NZ last year. Sadly I only stayed one night.
