it’s awesome art work and how it has a timeless Māori feel!

Charlene New Zealand

The bed (they call "pod") is very comfy comparing with other hostels I visited in NZ, and super private with the curtain. The bunk beds are steady, so climb up and down does not annoy other people.

Huy New Zealand

The beds were really comfy and the location was great.

Kirsty New Zealand

Great location just a short walk from town. Private double was great value and comfortable - TV, heat/aircon, good size. Friendly staff! Clean and good facilities.

Anne New Zealand

everything was clean. we loved the privacy and very friendly and helpfull staff. thank you

Klara Czech Republic

clean, good check in, lovely staff with ability to store bike /skiies. super close to middle of town but far enough from bars/pubs to not keep awake from the noise. Bed in little cubical was great and curtains bloked out all the light from other pods

Samuel New Zealand

Everything was great. Stayed multiple nights and left some of my gear in the storage room while tramping out of town.

Viggo New Zealand

Best pod hostel in Queenstown, other's don't really come close. Everything is nice and clean and it's so quiet even if you share your room. There are also plenty of bathrooms on multiple floors as there is always somewhere to go even when somewhere is occupied.

Viggo New Zealand

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was upgraded with a double pod for free. Pods have power plugs and a shelf for your belongings, which is very handy.

Stepan Russia

Great place to stay. Always clean and friendly staff. Also, right in town! We stayed in a 4 bed room which was a little tight but not an issue if you’re out all day. Definitely a great place to stay!
