It's a 10-minute walk from town along the lake, very new and clean with good service and a friendly attitude. Check-in is after 2 PM. The kitchen is huge, and the common areas are fantastic. The only thing I think would make it perfect is if the toilet and shower were separate. Because if one person goes in to shower, the entire bathroom door is closed, and anyone who needs to use the toilet can't. Similarly, if someone is using the toilet, others can't shower.
I highly recommend this cozy and comfortable hostel! It seems like there were small activities every night, and I was lucky enough to participate and hang out with people from other branches. The overall experience was great, and I made friends from all over the world in just two nights. Not only were the staff friendly and welcoming, but the location was also very convenient, and the price was even better. This small hostel is also perfect for shy and introverted people.
The motel's location is a bit out of the city center, so a car is essential for getting around. You can park right in front of your room. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need, including pots and pans.
The male owner was very responsible. On our first night, the AC wasn't blowing hot air, and we woke up freezing at around 5 AM. We talked to the owner the next day, and he explained that the thermostat was set too high, preventing the AC from kicking in. He then restarted the outdoor unit and got it working. He even proactively knocked on our door to check if it was working correctly and brought us a small space heater. The owner also provided a small map, showing us places to visit in the city and how to get there.
This youth hostel is also listed as a model of the best youth hostel by me as the Haka House Youth Hostel in Oklaki Cook Hill. Although there is no service staff on the spot, the small hotel has everything it should have, the environment is clean and comfortable.
Unbeatable location, with only few minutes of walk to pretty much most of the meeting points. There are fridge and a clothes hanging place in the room (some perks that are not frequently available in share dorms). The only downside is that the kitchen is small and very crowded during mealtime, and the ventilation for the kitchen is a bit not enough. Though overall speaking, it was a great stay.

The homestay is on the hill in the center of Oamaru, overlooking the entire town and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Unfortunately, the day we stayed was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunrise. 10 minutes drive from the Penguin Center. The cooking facilities in the house are particularly complete. At first glance, it is prepared for the Chinese. Not only have seasonings, but also rice cookers. This is not available in other hotels. If you prepare a large spoon, it will be 100 points.
Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient.
There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle.
There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great.
The showers are on the first floor, unisex.
The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge.
The facilities are generally quite complete.
By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo.
New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own.
You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor.
The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it.
It was a really great backpacker hostel! I can also convince you that the word of mouth is very good.
First of all, there is a lot of cleanliness. The shared space is beautiful and all the guests use it cleanly. Each room is also beautiful, and it is also great that the bed on the lower stage has a curtain and can be closed.
We are also prepared to drink hot chocolate and tea. New Zealand was cold in autumn, so I was very happy to have a warm drink when I returned to the hostel.
It was an early check-out in the morning with a late check-in, but he contacted me in advance and responded politely.
Also, it was a nice hotel that I would like to stay!
The wooden house has creaky floors, so you need to walk lightly. There's no private bathroom; about two to three rooms share one shared bathroom (toilet and shower). The interior decor is charming and unique, clearly a lot of thought went into it. Check-in is via a code, which can be a hassle if you miss the email – I personally spent a long time trying to find it. The single bed is quite narrow, but that seems to be a common standard abroad.

TTortelliniIt’s a huge hostel in the prime part of queenstown so it’s a mixed bag on who you’ll be sharing a room with. There isn’t really anywhere to put your things in the room and need your own lock for the small safety cabinets, and sharing 2-4 outlets with everyone in the room, but it’s clean and the bed is fine.

MMandy PuaThe hotel is located near town center, few minutes of walk can reach the octagon and it’s next to railway station. Very good location. The hotel was built around 1875 if not mistaken so the room is very very vintage and old. Most of the amenities in room look old especially the bath tub look dirty and room space is quite small. A lots of parking space provided by the hotel and it’s opposite of the hotel.

VVinn0926Overall, the stay was quite satisfactory. The only downside is that the room is next to a shared toilet, and noise from the door opening and closing is noticeable.
