Malolo House 110 Commercial Road, Helensville Tel (09) 420 7262 or 0800 28 60 60 Website www.helensville.co.nz/malolo.htm BUG review This beautifully-restored 1904 kauri villa is much more of a luxury B&B than ordinary hostel, but there is one six-bed dorm for backpackers, who get to share the lovely surroundings and facilities. The kitchen is immaculate, with breakfast and free tea and coffee provided daily. A nice veranda has good views over the valley below, and the free spa pool makes for a rare treat on the backpacker circuit. The dorm room itself is not the most spacious we’ve ever seen, with a pair of three-tiered bunks in close quarters. They’re well-designed bunks, at least, with lockers built into them. Malolo House is definitely not a party spot, but a place to add a bit of class and refinement to your travels.

Kathleen C.   USA       Nice place 17 December 2004 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      Kathleen C. saw things this way Maintenance    (3) Cleanliness    (3) Facilities    (3) Atmosphere    (3) (Review ID: 10993) This is a nice place, but compared to the other backpackers we stayed in it wasn't as clean. Although, the beds are wonderful. They are super thick and they have nice warm duvets. I might stay there again, but only if it was in a different town. Helensville is not a very exciting town.   0 of 22 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   Tui Maybury   Te Atatu       Lovely people and a lovely cosy place 14 September 2004 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      Tui Maybury saw things this way Maintenance    (4) Cleanliness    (4) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (4) (Review ID: 10994) The people at Malolo are really nice and friendly.
