BUG Review
The River Inn is an old pub with hostel accommodation. It is dated and could be better maintained, although it could also be described as “authentic”. The kitchen is quite a mess; bathrooms are cute and clean and the dorms are clean but a bit austere, and it may be a boring place to stay for someone travelling alone. However, that gives you a reason to mingle with the locals in the downstairs bar, which has an eccentric crowd on occasion. The management are friendly and offer free use of bicycles.
Price Dorm bed $25 ($22 BBH) Single/double/twin room $60 ($56 BBH) Prices are in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
