A great hostel – yummy Afghan’s, really friendly welcome and Buster a fantastic guide to the glowworms. Shame we didn’t see any Kiwi’s but many thanks for all your great advice about the area.

Completely soaked and cold, a warm welcome in your hostel and the music of Pink Floyd …. a kind of “home” long away from my home …
Thanks a lot.
Always look on the “bike” side of life.

Enjoyed our stay. Thank you Jenny and Michel. Great music.
Glow worm walk was magic.

Third time we have stayed here and again it was both a relaxing and at the same time lively stay.
The views, walks and accomodation are fantastic and the atmosphere created by Michel and Jenny, and not to forget Buster were fun.
Plus good music.
We’ll be back!!

Dear Hosts,
Dave and I stayed at your Backpackers in September, when we got this lovely shot of the Kunekune pig.
Hope you like it!
Best wishes, Helen and Dave
This place was so nice and relaxing I stayed another night.
Your dinners were yum, especially the apple crumble.
Your surroundings are beautiful and your hospitality lovely, you really go the extra mile to make people feel at home. Definately the best hostel in NZ …. so far.
Just what I needed after a hard days cycle touring. I will spread the word on this little gem far and wide.
Thanks, Kathryn on my green bike. (Australia, Sydney)
p.s. Cute pigs
This place is absolutely beautiful.
I felt very welcome, the hospitality far exceeded what we have experienced so far.
I would definitely recommend this place to fellow travellers (and also try the apple crumble) 
Thanks so much.

This place was absolutely what I was looking for.
