Great location, 2 min walk to town , safe parking
I would say that the best hostel in nz
The hostel had a lovely, laidback vibe. It was in a great location, a short walk into the Centre of Kaikoura. All the staff I met were friendly and welcoming. The garden area was lovely, and it has a beautiful terrace with sea views. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the free ground coffee was a really nice touch. The washing machine was cheap at 2 dollars, and you could use the washing line outside to dry your things.
Such a lovely hostel! I had a female-only room and the room was lovely, beds were comfortable, the showers and bathrooms were clean and decently modern. The kitchen was very well equipped, free spices/seasoning. The hostel has a small 'gym' room with mats and a few weights, a sauna, and a hot tub. WiFi was very good! Fantastic location, right in the centre. The hostel also has free bikes for hire! I cycled to Lake Matheson (highly recommended!) And bunnies you can feed 🐇
very friendly and helpful manager, he met me outside before I even got off my motorcycle and assisted in finding a suitable and safe park. other hostels require street parking. really good shower but needed to be first up to be best dressed
Everything was fantastic here. Great location between Queenstown and Gibbston so perfect distance for the concert. Very clean and great facilities, roomy living/bed area, super comfy big bed, spacious bathroom with awesome shower and pressure. There was a washing machine and dryer in there as well. Great views and cool seeing the planes coming in for landing. Very quiet with no road noise was great. Safety box for key so we were able to arrive whenever and all contact between the owners was friendly and informative. Thank you so much!
One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It was super cosy, modern and extremely clean. Each bunk bed had their own curtains and usb plugs. It is the perfect spot to discover the breathtaking Mount Cook National Park. I did several day hikes and even an overnight hike. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay in at Mount Cook!
I loved staying at Oamaru Backpackers. My room was very cozy and comfy, the kitchen and the living room were so nice and bright with everything you need to cook and to relax. Very nice view. So far one of the best hostel I've been to since I'm in NZ last year. Sadly I only stayed one night.
The room was private and very spacious for a backpackers. The beds were pretty comfortable too. The staff were very friendly and helpful and overall it was a good property with lots of space. Honestly, this was one of the best hostels we had stayed at in terms of overall experience. It was also nice that they spread people out a bit and didn't try to cram everyone into the same space when it wasn't fully booked.
