Typical backpacker hostel - great at the price in central Dunedin (lovely town) just yards from The Octagon in the town centre. Nice views from roof terraces.

Newly furnished, clean, quiet and close to city centre. However, some basic amenities are missing. No kettle or cups. The shared kitchen is in a different building which is inconvenient.
