This cosy 14-bed hostel has a TV lounge with Internet access, a kitchen with polished floorboards, and outdoor area with an herb garden and barbecue. Accommodation is mostly twin and double rooms and the biggest dorm has only three beds.
Price Dorm bed $23 ($20 BBH) Double/twin room $50 ($45 BBH) Prices are in local currency and are inclusive of all taxes.
Pros:
Clean, staff friendly
Cons:
Lack of parking areas (neighbour next door isnt happy if park across his drive even a mm across)

Great hostel, absolutey beautiful restored old house. Very clean and great facilities. Lack of parking spaces though as the street was full of cars. A little further from the CBD than other hostels but its a very easy walk even after a large night out! Great place, highly recommended.
Pros:
Tidy, friendly staff, warm atmosphere, quiet area
Cons:
There is nothingbad about this hostel

Definitely one of the best backpacker i ever stayed in. After 2 weeks of amazing Fiji i had to go back to bloody cold NZ. But Chester`s made my heart feel warm again. Staff is really friendly and helpful if you have any desires! The lovely cat ( i forgot the name) is too fat though :-)!
The fact that you can buy and sell campervans for reasonable prices is pretty good! So if you start your travels through NZ here, you probably won`t get a van cheaper and/or better maintained! Anthony is doing good work....
recommend it totally
