Noisy kids running up and down the hallway (but thats not the accommodations fault.) Easy drive to Whakapapa so good spot! Noisy heater fan in bedroom when it was closed. ##### natasha Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cody Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Good for price ##### Cody Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jasmine Aug 8, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the family room because of the heating was excellent, However the backpackers needs staff as there were guest hogging amenties such as moive room and kitch area gets over crowded ##### Jasmine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandeep Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Amenities Love you ##### Sandeep Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoang Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very affordable, convenient location.

I decided to stay a night on my way up north. My sleep was not good. There was a machine sound that came on and off nearby keeping me awake; a generator or something. The light from the passageway leaked in the cracks around the door; had to put bags in front to stop the light coming through bottom of door. The mattress seemed like it was not flat and was hard to sleep on; wasn't sure if it was the mattress or an uneven floor, I think the mattress; hard to find a flat spot to sleep on; or maybe it was the bed frame itself. My back didn't feel that great in the morning; didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked. The room I was in was Room 14. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jong Jun 14, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Not again. ##### Jong Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay. It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other attractions in the area ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoang Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities . ##### Hoang Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nimesh Jul 29, 2025 ##### Nimesh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abraham Jul 27, 2025 ##### Abraham Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Indika Jul 18, 2025 ##### Indika Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Soman Jul 14, 2025 ##### Soman Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandeep Jul 5, 2025 ##### Sandeep Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marvin Jun 27, 2025 ##### Marvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucky May 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Lucky Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Grand Canyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Canyon-Hotels.d6140738.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Tokyo.h468618.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Fallsview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Sheraton-Fallsview-Hotel.h194534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Kindersley](https://www.expedia.ca/Kindersley-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d10580-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Akumal-All-Inclusive.h869980.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Gran Canaria](https://www.expedia.ca/Gran-Canaria-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6047134-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dublin One Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Dublin-One-Hotel.h71778507.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywg/calgary-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/cmb/vancouver-to-colombo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Thiruvananthapuram (TRV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/trv/toronto-to-thiruvananthapuram) > > [Flights from Paso de Carrasco (MVD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mvd/yyz/montevideo-to-toronto) > > [Central Mountain Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Central-Mountain-Air-Flights.c9M.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Moss Town (GGT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/ggt/miami-to-george-town) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/sgn/paris-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Iqaluit (YFB) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfb/yyz/iqaluit-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Williams Lake (YWL) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywl/yyc/williams-lake-to-calgary) ### Cars > [Enterprise at 1206 Topsail Road Mount Pearl Newfoundland And Labrador CAN](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-at-1206-Topsail-Road-Mount-Pearl-Newfoundland-And-Labrador-CAN.v35123.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) ### Activities ### Packages > [Duke Point Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Duke-Point-Ferry-Terminal-Nanaimo.d553248634270677206.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
