I had a great time here, meeting some lovely people. Good location and great value. For me it felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was spotless, but could do with some more plates etc. Also my mattress was pretty thin. But overall, good stay. more

We arrived late in the afternoon in the shoulder season and our specific needs were accommodated cheerfully by the operator. We needed one room with ensuite for grandpa, another twin with ensuite for the teenage girls and a double for ourselves. The kitchen was a hive of acivity around meal times but appeared to work well and accommodate everyones needs,... more

I stayed for one night at Wally's. It's in a great spot - near the city center but out of the way and quiet. The house itself is full of charm too. The dorm I was in was for 8 people. It was rather roomy as far as dorms go, but the bed was not very comfortable and the sheets... more

On our second night there, we returned late at night to find the door unlocked, the light switch on and the mattresses had been removed from the bunks. No previous warning... more

My wife, daugher and myself stayed one night a Wally's in April 2008 during a months holiday of New Zealand and Australia. We found the hostel to be clean and very well run with friendly staff, the owner even booked a wine tasting trip for us at short notice. We would have loved to stay for more than one night,... more

Very homely, cottage-style backpackers. It feels like your staying in someone's home. Quiet location, excellent facilities, lots of room in the bedrooms - I highly recommend it! My husband and I had a very peaceful, relaxing stay here. The kitchen and dining room are just gorgeous! Great value for money - stay here instead of a hotel. more
