- Avg. price/night: £40.918.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 407 reviewsAmazing backpacker hostel in a great area for the Waitomo Caves and other experiences. The staff were super lovely and helpful. It's a really cool experience, as it's bang smack on a farm with lots of cool animals (and cute dogs!). Really recommend this place, great value for money.
