A great stop of place between Auckland and Wellington with everything you need.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
The individual pods are fantastic, great privacy and the best design of a hostel I have seen. Fantastic location.
No working lights in the bathroom of room 4.

Handy location, and friendly staff member. She was accommodating our parking needs. Water pressure in the shower is great.
The noise after 10pm for over an hour during our stay (Thursday - Sunday) was annoyed as people talked loudly and music was too loud to get us to sleep.
