Just 5 min walk to Queen Charlotte track, very nice countryside accomodation with mountains and water view. And the boss is extremely friendly and helpful. One of the best hostel we've stayed in really. Just 5 min walk to Queen Charlotte track, very nice countryside accomodation with mountains and water view.

The place is very peaceful: the Queen Charlotte is just 50m away but you can also pick one of their kayak and explore the Marlborough Sounds. One last big thing is the free access on the Internet I had a great stay there, just feeling like home! I'll definitely come back.The place is very peaceful: the Queen Charlotte is just 50m away but you can also pick one of their kayak and explore the Marlborough Sounds.

This is an excellent hostel - more like a high class hotel. Its clean, friendly, warm, has views to die for and extremely friendly. The owners have clearly tried to think of everything! I would definitely recommend this hostel. This is an excellent hostel - more like a high class hotel. Its clean, friendly, warm, has views to die for and extremely friendly.
