The spa pool wasn't working very well and they were a little short on dishes and cutlery in the kitchen, but other than that good facilities, enjoyable. ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff Jan 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good value backpacker accommodation for Cook Strait ferry connection. ##### Jeff ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Sep 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy walk to everywhere ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ping Oct 17, 2023 The old charm of the interior. The outside of the building may need a coat of bright paint. Room should be provided with a stand-alone cloth hangar for winter jacket and bath towel. ##### Ping Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kevin Jan 12, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Like: Garden and quirky endearing Villa. Showers ok. Bed was ok. Free basic breakfast but as no milk was provided only bread jam or toast were possible. Dislike: Thought we booked en suite but only a double was allocated. The advertised free shuttle to ferry was not available and hasn’t been for years. Spa out of order. Kitchen was filthy - sticky floors and not enough tea towels so the three or so were soaking wet. Hardly hygienic. Very little space in fridge and no freezer. No spare key held by hostel, so if you locked room and forgot to take key (or lost it) you were locked out permanently. Very noisy in morning due to heavy long running port infrastructure improvements and an inconsiderate family making loads of noise before 6 am as they were leaving! ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave Feb 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Value for money!

The 2 other Standard doubles next door to ours were luxurious compared to ours! They had spacious rooms. Ours was cramped with hardly enough room to even walk round the bed! Very disappointed. I know it was cheap accommodation but I feel we got a poor deal in comparison with others. Everywhere was shabby and desperately in need of a lick of paint. I wouldn't recommend this accommodation unless you were young backpackers who were happy to share a dorm with 5 others and didn't care about the surroundings! I would certainly look at other backpackers accommodation in future. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The colorfull building. Good advice from the receptionist were to eat ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jan 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service They messed up my booking, clearly stated that it was for 4 guests. Unfortunately they only booked for one which meant that we no longer could be in the same room. We we're lucky to find alternative accommodation but when i requested a refund since it was their error they said they would need to get the manager to call me - still waiting on that call, still waiting on that refund. No issue with the actual property etc. It all looked very good and the staff were pleasant enough. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff were friendly and the location was great I would highly recommend staying here ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place with plenty of character and a warm homely feel about it.
