Fun hostel! They were more than awesome in giving advice and directions to the bar scene, local food, and bank.

Great place. Staff really friendly and chatty, especially Holly. Only issue I had was it seemed to be full of long term stays who aren't that receptive to "new" short term backpackers. Location amazing, only 10 mins walk to Queen St.
