Some cool people there and usually some free food/snacks in the kitchen. The staff were accommodating and friendly and you can get a small dorm for the price of a 12-bed dorm which is closer to town (at a separate hostel). That said, it's a little bit far from the action. About a 15 minute walk to chch cbd and you need to walk about 35 minutes if you plan on getting groceries from paknsave. But still a good experience overall.

Bed uncomfortable and shower not good

Price and location

Stayed in March 2025

The second time I stayed I stayed in an 8 bed room with bunk beds which was less comfortable, but very typical for hostels.

The first time I stayed here I stayed in a three bed female room and it was very comfortable and quiet. None of the beds were bunks which really cut down on noise and added comfort. There was enough room in the room to sort your stuff, which was super useful. The communal area was well-used and a nice way to meet other travelers.

the kitchen could be better organized (food management, for example)

great location, fully functional

The shower was a large step up (40+ cm) with no handrail support. It was totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility challenges- and it felt really unsafe stepping down out of it. The feltonmix mixer could only be reached by standing on tip toes outside the unit... but I realise that any amendment or shower reno would be a major expense, and this was a budget motel.

We had a different room this time than last week. It was smaller but still very adequate - with a sofa, bed, small table and 2 chairs plus a deck for taking the chairs onto if we'd been there in the sunny evening. The kitchen had a hot plate and microwave, a small fridge, and jug. The bench space was adequate for a small meal.prep. A separate toilet off the tiny bathroom was well placed. Sliding cavity doors made each space Socrates if you wanted. The bed was comfortable and curtains/blinds blocked light well.

Friendliness of the staff and the quality of the rooms.

Can't complain about anything.

The quality of service and the atmosphere of the lodge.

High step up over bath edge into the shower - not suitable for anyone with mobility issues - was the main issue. No dessert bowls- but I'm sure I could have asked if I'd wanted them.

Great cooking facilities - frypan, pots, as well as microwave. Well away from traffic noise. Quiet units and lots of parking. Good sized rooms. West facing deck. Very warm. Good sized fridge with icebox for food storage. Table and chairs in kitchen. Separate kitchen to bedroom.

Thin pillow. Ceiling in bathrooms are bit mouldy. Kitchen counters are cluttered with grocery bags by long term stayers due to lack of shelf space. Other guests were noisy until 2am on Friday so I was bit difficult to fall asleep. There's no room key and a keypad password given for room access. Wonder if the combination has ever been changed last 10 years. Window lock was not working neither so I had to bring all valuables with me.

I stayed at the single room for 3 nights. Bedroom is very spacious. Bed is comfy. Furniture is old but functional. Location is 30min walk to city but it is easily accessible by frequent bus service. 3 showers & 3 toilets to share I had no trouble. Showers was clean with good hot water pressure. All I need is a private and affordable place to sleep so I am okay with what I got with the price.

Sharing, I tried to upgrade my booking to a single room but this didn't happen. Bus is the only means of traveling and apparently you should have a card for this. I would expect this to be arranged by the accommodation side especially if I am not from New Zealand. My travel arrangements were always compromised.

Place was affordable

Floor in the room probably never vacuumed, walls of paper broken in many places, feels like in a basement inside :)

Only a bed in the room really, no towels, dirty/cramped bathrooms and toilets

It’s cheap and the location is good with onsite parking. Easy to check in.
