BUG review
This hostel is very poorly maintained. It has a great location in the centre of town, but dorm rooms are untidy, and the bathrooms need maintenance. It has a well-equipped kitchen, although it is a bit dated. There is a small TV room and a common room with a table and a few chairs. The outside patio is not very inviting, and overall it has a slightly dodgy atmosphere.

Had the best time in NZ and would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone. Fantastic relaxed atmosphere on the deck all hours of the night. Meet some cool people. Loved Nelson and Abel Tasman. Will definitely be back there again.
