This hostel was generally a disappointment, the kitchen was not particularly clean, especially the washing up facilities. The room was like a cold box and you had to walk through the climbing room in the dark at night which wasn't particularly safe. The staff were average but when checking in we were not shown where things were so took as us while to find things. There was nothing terribly wrong but it lacked atmosphere and wasn't overly welcoming. The best thing about it was its closeish distance to the ski slopes and some good walks at Wakapapa. more
