Hostels in West Coast, New Zealand

The staff were super efficient and friendly. I met Sandler and Daniel, and they have been super kind and giving me advice for hiking tracks They are always the first to rise, making sure everything is ready.

I arrived pretty late that night and I have no issue in finding my room. The room was prepared perfectly with the heater on beforehand, so it kept me warm really well. The bathroom was soo spacious that you could literally dance inside. Well sorry I forgot to capture the room only the reception haha.

The apartment we stayed in was quite new and felt pleasant. Rooms are quite spacious and clean. The Kitchen was new and well equiped. It’s in a small township near Fox Glacier. There was a view point, which was about a few minutes driver from the motel, where the view of the snow peaks and glacier was spectacular. It is also not far from Franz Joseph glacier.

When booking the motel, it was stated that it was for 4 adults. When I checked in, I found that there was only one room and a bunk bed in the living room, which was not very comfortable. In addition, the toilet is in the room, and someone will be woken up when going to the toilet at night. It is not suitable for more than 2 people to stay.

This hostel is of character, it's fairly close to the train station and the house lady is very kind and friendly. It was a really great stay for me 😉

Good location, near to train station, Woolworth and restaurants and cafes. They provide milk for coffee. Gave us suggestions on where to explore. Easy drive to Shanty Town and 30mins drive to Glow Worm Dell. However, bring your own toiletries like shampoo, conditioner and body wash - no holder to place them but on the floor. There were bugs flying in the room as the kitchen/toilet faces the garden. I had bites on my finger and a spot on my face. No power supply near the bed but on the kitchen area.

Location was perfect and quiet. Whatever in the room was adequate.

Great location in the centre of town, short walk to lots of eating choices. Nice large room with views of the Punga trees was such a nice feature. A bit dated but totally fine for a night passing through, ticked all the boxes.

The room and dining area are well-equipped. The only downside is that the two rooms are connected by a door that isn't soundproof. The people staying next door, who are from Guangdong, were talking very loudly, which was a bit noisy.

Amazing and comfortable stay. Attention to details and nice touches. Very clean and well thought amenities.
