“The facility has a great vibe. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The dorms and bathrooms were containers, which is a great concept.”

“Clean and cheerful good staff excellent food cart convenient location to begin adventures. Highly recommend for budget backpackers as a fun clean and well resourced property.”

“Very friendly and accommodating staff. Perfect location for kayak rental excursion with Abel Tasman Kayak next door. Great family-friendly facilities.”

“Lovely property, peaceful and quiet, definitely feels like you’re on holidays when you’re there! There is everything you need: kitchen and bbqs, extra large showers with good water pressure, cinema room, pool tables/dart board/baby foot, a lawn to chill on or tan on, etc. The beach is a couple of min walk from the property and the kayaking business are right next door.”

“Great facilities and location. Enjoyed relaxing under shady trees in the garden after a 6 day hike. Handy to start of Abel Tasman Track, Split Apple Rock plus two great eateries - The Fat Tui (amazing burgers) and Hooked Cafe”

“Amazing place, friendly staff, super clean and the facilities are great!! Thanks!!!”

“The hostel offers everything you want : cinema, food, pool tables, books, videogames, etc Emma, one of the owners, is extremely friendly and it was a pleasure chatting with her. She gave us useful info. The location is perfect.”

“Staff super friendly and everything was super clean. Loved the small movie theater they have, as well.”

“Loved this place, had a great night's sleep in the aircon room. Thanks Meg for sorting my trip into the park. Will definitely be back.”

“Quirkiest place I’ve ever stayed. Loved every minute of it except trying to get on and off the top bunk. A grab rail on the ceiling would make a world of difference for us middle aged women”
