Kiwiana 73 Motupipi Street, Takaka Tel (03) 525 6261 or 0800 80 KIWIANA BUG review Kiwiana is an intimate hostel with good facilities. Dorms are small but well maintained, and bathrooms are sparkling clean. There is a pleasant garden and a cosy lounge with TV, pool table, table tennis, internet access ($6 per hour), some guitars and a log fire. They also have laundry facilities, a nice spa pool on the deck and guests have free use of bikes. The kitchen could use a renovation, but otherwise it is a homely, clean place with friendly management. It is just a few minutes’ walk to the main street.

Liz and Trish   Auckland, New Zealand       Couldn't fault it 24 December 2004 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      Liz and Trish saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 12056) We picked this backpackers because all the reviews said that it was very clean. And so it was - immaculate. It also turned out to have an easy-going atmosphere, character, good facilities, a good kitchen, a beautiful garden, comfortable outdoor area, and is within easy walking distance of the town centre. There are also free bikes for those wanting to go further than the shopping area. Jules, the owner, couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful, and her well-trained dog adds to the ambience of the place.   4 of 12 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   Chris   Munich, Germany       Very comfortable and friendly hostel 24 November 2004 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      Chris saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 12057) Jules the owner is typically laid back and representative of the area. She lets you feel right at home and has equipped the hostel well with separate lounge and games room, away from the sleeping area, so quiet nights on comfortable beds ensured. Great place for an alternative honeymoon.   9 of 10 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   toph   pa, usa       atmosphere, comfort, cleanliness ta boot! 30 November 2003 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      toph saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 12058) jules, ya did it! can't say enough about your place. good things happen to good people. miss ya!   1 of 9 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?
