Very nice and clean rooms and bathroom facilities. Kitchen was big enough to store your food, staff was very nice.

Jerneja Slovenia

The cleanest communal kitchen I've come across. Huge room. Great sustainable waste managment system.

Robertson New Zealand

Awesome place to stay. The hot tub was nice and hot and in a beautiful setting. Good kitchen and some cute little babe bunnies!!

Lucas New Zealand

This is a great property. Everything was super clean. We stayed there on new year's eve, and yet everyone was respectful, not too much noise. The staff were very friendly. They also had rabbits, so exceptional experience 😋

Nehasarwate New Zealand

This is a Back packers, nothing fancy, the room i had was good and clean. Came back for a second night

Peter New Zealand

Room was comfortable and even had a TV. Bathroom and shower were very clean, and the kitchen was good. Great location.

Anne New Zealand

beds were so comfy. Clean toilets and showers. Highly recommend staying here

Kayla New Zealand

Our second time staying here and will 100% return again. Host is absolutely lovely! Shame to see the place quieter this time round. Facilities are great here too, perfect location in Fox.

Cherene Ireland

Great facilities and very friendly, helpful staff. Staff pointed out all local attractions and where to go during our one night stay. We were upgraded to a room with our own bathroom which was appreciated.

Ashleigh New Zealand

A great location. Excellent setup for a pit stop stay. Rooms are clean, modern, well equipped and come with all the usual hotel bits and pieces that you usually don’t get at a motel/hostel. Soap, towels, en-suite bathrooms and a little balcony
