Loved this place, close to everything you can need in Kaikoura. Good size room and bathroom was nice and tidy.Owner took us seal swimming even though it was only the two of us who wanted to go in the end (the rain was pouring down, but seriously, it only made the experience even cooler and the wet suits was the warmest I ever tried, really good quality). If I have to mention something negative, the duvets was not so clean. But you have a sheet in between anywas so no biggie really :)
Pros:
The biggest kitchen ,free internet
Cons:
magic bus

This is a nice medium sized hostel situated on a hill next to a park.The Owner is really friendly and greets you with a big smile.He's very trusting and laidback but always very professional .The first thing that hits you about this place is the size of the kithen.Its huge....Did I also mention it was modern as well.And warm ..The rest of the hostel is pretty good....and I must say...nice hot showers in this place .Free internet is upstairs running off the TV lounge . Only one terminal which sometimes means slight delay but hey....its free ..and fast.
Overall this is a great little treasure on the hill .
Good atmosphere, Nice owner .
