New ZealandIt is in a good location. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff helpful. We had a triple room with ensuite and a small kitchenette. The kitchenette didn't have a microwave, but we could walk across to the community kitchen and use that one. All other people we met staying there commented what a good back packers it is. There are good sized lockers available at a small charge to store luggage if away doing hikes or tours etc.
