Great location. Cheap room
Great being back at this backpackers as I first stayed here 33 years ago when it was a YHA Hostel. Have many happy memories here - so great to see it re-opened! Great location and ambiance. Friendly staff. Clean, tidy & nicely decorated. Good WiFi and communal areas. Awesome whale mural in dining room.
Location, Amenities, Comfort, Staff ( owners) Probably the Best hostel in Hamner
Great location and friendly helpful staff - we were their first guests so everything new and sparkling. Bedroom warm and cosy and kitchen new and beautiful- yum breakfast too . Safe car park too. Thankyou
The best Hostel in Australasia...
Great location , best location and easy parking which is cheap across the road, would definitely stay here again!
Nice and cozy hostel. Very clean and friendly. I stayed in a common room. This is so great they have female-only room. There were 2-level beds. Each place had its own curtain for privacy, a small light inside, and a socket. Lower beds had two sections for storage underneath. There also was a separate vertical row of lockers. Nice that rooms had heaters (button on the wall).
Very nice little hotel. Perfect for solo travellers on a budget, especially backpackers, who want a break from back to back hosteling.. Rooms were cosy, bed was comfy as was the wood burner in the lounge. Friendly staff who were very welcoming.
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, nice relaxed vibe, cleanest kitchen I’ve been to in a hostel, cheap laundry
