Great location directly at the sea (from my room I could almost spit on the beach!! BUT it takes app. 20 min with the car to Wellington city centre.

Thank you for your comment. We do say in ALL our information that we are 20 minutes from the City so hopefully this wasn't a surprise for you. People who want to stay out of the City seem to appreciate the benefits of being able to relax in a beautiful location away from the hustle of the City centre..

very clean, well equipped and in a nice location. the "vibe" was a bit off somehow in some immeasurable way, compared to many others i stayed at. i would definitely stay there again though, as the other parts were top notch.

The nicest back packers I have ever stayed in. The owners are really lovely, the beachside home is lovely and the relatively small number of rooms means a more Personal relationship with other guests. Hope to get back here one day. Thanks for a very comfortable stay.

If you're the kind of person who doesn't need a huge party hostel and you might want to stay on the beach in a suburb instead of in a building in a city, then you should stay here. Besides being a 17 minute walk to the train station and a 30 minute ride to the city, this hostel is basically perfect. It's by far the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in. They have a guitar to play, everything you could ever need in a kitchen, dvds to watch, awesome owners and staff. Can't say enough about my stay.
