T who runs the place is the most helpful knowledgeable person you'll come across. Makes you feel so welcome, nothing is a problem. Great facilities, it's like a house, as in it's got all you might need. I have had a most enjoyable stay. I wish them some busyness because they deserve it. Just not when I come back to stay (from Christchurch) lol. All the best, if I'm ever in the area I'm staying here again!
Everything was okay but only the floor carpet in girls room I think they need to put on the timber floor it will be better than the carpet .and no parking for customer it’s very hard to get a parking
Great place to stay. Facilities modern and clean and run by friendly and helpful staff 👍👍👍

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location: beaches, shops, cinemas, restaurants just on the doorsteps. The owner Julie is a lovely lady. The room is nice and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean. Kitchen is good. But the amenities are very basic: no plugs for phone in the room, no towels and hair dryer (you need to hire them). Wifi didn't work in my room. For a short stay I absolutely recommend you to stay with them.

Very nice location, close to beach and shops. The staff were helpful and friendly. Room and al facilities were clean and well maintained.
very clean neat and tidy and surprisingly very quiet considering it is in the main street on The Entrance. We have no hesitation in recommending the hostel to anyone. Herbie and Lydia,
