New ZealandLovely hostel right on the edge of Western Park and steps away from all the bars and restaurants on Ponsonby Road. K-Road also just a short walk away. I stayed in a 3-bed dorm which was huge, the wifi worked well, and the communal area is great. the kitchen is also spacious and well-equipped.
