Great location!!!!! Great price for a small place popular with tourists. We stayed in an ensuite room and it was a nicer room than your usual backpackers room! We appreciated having a fridge in the room and a TV.
Typical of many popular NZ locations free car parking is hard to find in the town centre. This place has a few parks. You can park behind other cars in the driveway and the owner said to leave your car keys with him if you go out on foot and he'd move the car to let someone out. This system seemed to work well and we managed to get our car up the drive all 3 nights!

The location is great. Carparking was available. An interesting variety of guests.
Building maintenance could have been a bit better although there were not big issues.

Conveniently located near restaurants and shops.
Room was super clean, and line was supplied.
Quiet time was not achieved until later in the evening.

There was no breakfast as it is a backpackers lodge. The location was good as it was by the town centre.
There was no privacy as it faced out on the main courtyard. My room was by the hallway leading into the kitchen and TV room where you heard everything.
