“The property was pretty much as described and as the photos showed.
The room was a 6-bed dorm and was fairly spacious and well-lit. Each person had a locker and the beds were comfortable, and there was a small shelf which allowed you to leave some valuables fairly close to your person as you are sleeping. The only downside of the room I stayed in was that there were limited charging ports and only located in one part of the room on a shelf. This is not ideal if staying with strangers.
The kitchen was well-stocked but I suspect it would be a little bit on the cramped side if the hostel was at full occupancy.”
“Hostel was great value and in a perfect location for going off to hike the Tongariro! I met a lot of other fellow solo travellers and there was a great atmosphere in the hostel - everyone was very friendly!”
“Staff were very friendly and helpful! The room was very comfortable, we could not complain about the facilities as we had opted for shared. Kitchen was adequately equipped although I did have to tighten a couple of saucepan handles that were very loose.”
“The location was excellent, with good access to the national park and many walks for differing abilities. The pub nearby offered a fun game of mini golf and good food and Whakapapa village has a very useful information centre and wonderful dark skies at night making it a good place for stargazing.”
“Very nice big kitchen space that was kept very tidy. Everyone staying there were doing walks and hikes, so it was great meeting other like minded travelers there.”
