Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

Liked the place, was very peaceful and the pool was the best feature which the kids loved. The beds were one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in, had some great nights sleeps. Would have been even better if we had room cleaning everyday, but overall great place to stay.

    I stayed two nights and couldnt fault it, modern, clean, warm, private, quiet and secure . Lovely shower, nice towels, very comfortable bed. Small kitchenette. Great for solo traveller or a couple. Close to beach access where dog walking is permitted. Close to park and cafe part of beach too. Seems a central position to go to nelson city or the other way to richmond , stoke etc. Definitely positively recommend, and would stay again.

    The kitchen was large and the enormous dining room made it easy to meet and interact with other travelers. The hostel is dog friendly and a couple of people there had their furry companions. The beds were comfortable and appropriately equipped with reading lights and outlets.
