Arrived at the hostel at 6.15pm, the reception had closed at 6pm. I was sent email instructions to collect a key from a safe, I opened the safe and there was no key for my name/room. I asked around if anyone had seen any hostel staff, they had not. I tried emailing them but they only respond to emails during their working hours from 9am to 6pm. I then added credit to my phone to call their number - this went straight to voicemail and said they only answer calls between 9-6. There was NO emergency number to call out of hours. After hanging around for over an hour I was about to leave and book a new hostel when a staff member appeared. He did not even apologise about what had happened. He said I was lucky as he doesn’t normally get up until 10pm. I would strongly recommend not staying here if you are planning on arriving outside of their office opening hours. The hostel in general was also odd and completely unsociable.

Good value for money. Property is old and needs a bit of maintenance, but generally is clean and comfortable. My main annoyance was how much sound travelled from the courtyard into the room, even just the sound of other rooms opening and closing doors, walking up and down the stairs. So once everyone was up preparing for their early Abel Tasman departures, it meant I was up too. But in the grand scheme if things, this wasn't really a big deal for me.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My booking was cancelled through a glitch in the system an no faultof my own. So i had to find another place to stay. I tried to contact the Backpackers and Expedia to sort out a refund, had nothing but silence from both, even though when i ent and followed up the next day, the dudes on the front desk assured me that Expedia would get in touch with them to sort it out. After an initial conversation with Expedia ive had nothing back. Terrible service. Disgusting actually. From Expedia and the Backpackers. Do yourselves a favour and book in with the YHA round the corner.😒

We had a great stay over Christmas then again after new year. It was a bit strange being away from home at this time but the hostel staff made a big effort to make it fun with a lovely party. The common areas are great with loads of space and equipment to cook and relax. It’s very close to the bus stop and local restaurants. They kept our bags for us while we walked the Abel Tasman track. The hostel has a great vibe and we will be returning when we finish our trip around the South Island.
