I was able to connect to a good internet connection, and able to let my folks back in Denmark know that I had arrived. Than with easy to follow guidance from the staff, I was able to find the supermarket only about 5 minutes away, and prepared a delicious meal. After an early night I woke up to a nice and varied breakfast, which was provided by the hostel. Got some excellent tips some amazing beaches in Wanganui, and was told how I was informed about the Tongariro pass. Booked an extra night without any problems, and got up the next morning to do an amazing hike! Thank you family Nowaks, and staff for an excellent stay!”
