    Simple & clean. It's a hostel but the rooms are as nice (just not as a big) as a hotel room. The DVDs are a nice touch!

    Very friendly people staying there and the staff, great location, well equipped, comfy bed, and close to Mt Hutt. I was in the kitchen and all 12-15 of us were from the North Island due to lack of snow on Mt Ruapehu and all down South for a week...
