BUG Review
Koanui is comprised of two buildings. The nicer new building is aimed mostly at short term visitors staying a day or two and the older building is used for travellers working in the vineyards. Both buildings have common areas including TV lounges and kitchens and the old building also has a lounge with a fireplace. There is also internet access including a Wi-Fi (Zenbu, 10c per MB) connection. The long-term guests mean that the dorms in the older building are much messier than the new one. The hostel rents bikes for the bargain price of $10 per day.
Pros:
good atmosphere
Cons:
cold showers sometimes
