Central location with easy access to everywhere. Single beds that are all on the ground, no bunk beds. Car parking was easy but needs to be within specific time frame to be free. (Or get lucky to park within the Verandahs car parks)

Amazing place to stay. I was looking for a chill hostel to stay and spend the day using the facilities like the living room and garden. Honestly, the place was much better than I expected. Family vibes, good kitchen, great rooms, good showers, beautiful garden and living room.

The amenities were incredible, being able to relax in thr common area or in the beatiful garden outside was perfect for us at the end of our new zealand trip. Lost sights are walking distance and the transit system is easy to use.

“Great stay”
The hostel has a huge garden and plenty of outdoor seating, making for a really nice place to relax. It’s a bit of a walk from the city centre but the local high street was really buzzy and has a good selection of shops

“Would stay again, great location, staff and rooms”
The experience was amazing. Helpful staff that even moved my car due to an event taking place and where I had parked my car was not permitted for the day. They made sure I was looked after. Travelling on my own I felt safe and although some of the other guests were a little noisy at night it wasn't a major. Great facilities
