A little out of the way, but a nice hostel. Beds were surprisingly comfy. Staff was helpful and very nice.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Stunning scenery, helpful, generous staff and activities available through their adventure centre. This is not a place to stay if you want to party or be at the centre of a lively nightlife. Being up a mountain, there is not a constant power supply and getting in to the town of Akaroa can be hard work (for me, at least) if you do not have a vehicle. BUT...the clue is in the name. 'RETREAT'. Go there, have a look around, ask questions. No excuse to complain.

My favourite hostel so far - this is what im came to New Zealand for! Friendly staff picked me up from Akaroa town and took me to another world - this hostel has stunning ocean views across the Hinewe reserve. I should have stayed 1 night but stayed 3, enjoying the amazing walking and horse riding from the hostel, and relaxed atmosphere, BBQs and sunsets from the garden - thank you purple peak team for a great stay :)
