Beau d'extérieur et joli cadre mais c'est tout...
Hôtel avec Beaucoup de charme... Puis on y vit. Le ménage est fait très approximativement, nous sommes plus sur une auberge de jeunesse qu'une lodge. Wifi digne d'un 56k. Client qui ne respectent rien et personne ne cadre ceux qui ne respectent pas. Culotte et slip dans la salle de bain, ordinateur avec dessin animé des 6h du matin... Etc... La bâtisse est sympa bien que certaines pièces mériterait un bon rafraîchissement dont celle vu sur mer. Et surtout isoler les chambres !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not going back there.
The place is worn down and half of the place is rented out to the government to be used as a place for social cases. A woman was assaulted while I was staying there and the police came and took report. There were old bottles and dirt under my bed and some of the residents made med feel unsecure. I'm not going back.

Comfortable but loud
Comfortable hostel with a nice lounge but there were some regular residents who treated it like home and were very loud, which was a shame.

素晴らしいロケーションですが・・・
素晴らしいロケーションで避暑地、保養、のんびりするには最高の場所でした。ただ、車がないとだいぶ不便です。やはり1部屋か2部屋しかないようですが、シャワー・トイレ付きの部屋を使わないとだいぶ不便です。 もう1つ気になるのは、バックパッカーズとしての宿泊施設ですので、その宿泊者たちがだいぶ違う雰囲気の人たちなので、マナーが悪かったり、夜中までうるさかったり、夜中でもウロウロと動き回るのでだいぶ気になりました。また、部屋を開けての話し声や音楽もだいぶうるさい時がありました。 それ以外は本当に素晴らしい景色ときれいな海が目の前で部屋からの景色もとても良かったです。

Nice to hear the waves
We only where there for 8 hours but it was nice an warm on a cold night. Nice hot showers and would go back there when we go back to Wellington.

Charming lodge
We were on a late sailing from Picton and were accomodated very well with our late arrival. Pity about the lack of off road parking but unrealistic to expect anything else. We had to leave early so were unable to experience much of this lodge but what we did was charming.

ビーチ前の静かなホステル
設備がきちんと整っていて、部屋もとても快適です。シャワーとトイレが別になっていてどちらも複数個あるので、共用でも困ることはありませんでした。靴を脱ぐので、キッチンの床が濡れていたりするのが気になる場合は、スリッパなどを持参するといいと思います。

Flot beliggenhed
Hostel med fælles bad og toilet. Højt niveau af et hostel at være. Uengageret medarbejderstab... unge løstansatte der havde mere travlt med sig selv end med service. Gode fælles køkkenfaciliteter. Ulækker udendørsgrill. Vildt flot beliggenhed lige ned til vandet. Ingen indkøbsmuligheder i nærheden.

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome hostel.
Really great hostel on the seafront. Super friendly staff, great kitchen, lots of space to eat and chill out, clean and comfy rooms. This is a hostel deserving of its excellent ratings. Safe for all travellers of all ages. WiFi was solid as well. There's some excellent places nearby to grab food and supplies...I especially enjoyed some top notch fish & chips from the local shop while watching the sun go down. This is also an excellent alternative to staying in Wellington: it's much cheaper, quieter and yet easy to make it into the city on the frequent train service. A day ticket was only $14...I imagine you could easily spend that on petrol and parking. And a lot less hassle....you can enjoy a beer and not have to worry about driving.

excellent location and bedding
really lovely place and quiet. the only thing I would change is a couple of more toilets and showers would help due to the number of people staying at the hostel. when one of the toilets got blocked it made the morning rush a little too much
