Great location, close to the bus stop and the sea.
There was a bathroom in the room and bath towels were provided, so it was comfortable.
I was happy that I could use the washing machine for free.
The woman at the reception was also nice and had a nice atmosphere.
New Plymouth is a wonderful city!
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient. Facilities are good. I did however have a cluster of ants in my room. They were swiftly dealt with by staff within about 5 minutes after reporting. I was grateful for being able to leave luggage prior to check in but a bit disappointed i had to pay 2 nzd to store luggage in a locked on departure for about 90 to 120 minutes. I can understand charges for longer periods of left luggage on check out, but under 2 hours seemed a bit unfortunate. However i would still recommend the YHA for others, although if you want a more ”party” type hostel, this isn't it.
The room has a private bathroom, two single beds, a table, chairs, and a wardrobe; it's fully equipped. The bathroom is bright and spacious. The only drawback is that the boiler next door (or something similar) makes a very loud noise, even during the day. The communal kitchen is a bit small and could be kept cleaner. There's a restaurant and bar downstairs, with a nice atmosphere.
Had a private room which was clean and very comfortable. Cosy too. Only spent two nights but would’ve been happy there on a long trip. The shared areas were great too, especially for socialising. Staff were super friendly. Would definitely stay again.

GGuest UserWe booked a 2 room cabin, the place was quiet that was nice but the place wasn't clean a dirty oven try left in the oven! Plates with crumbs on them! The bathroom fan didn't work so the cabin was super super damp, no soaps or shampoo dispensers were all empty! The bathroom and toilet door didn't close properly or quietly. The main bedroom must have a leak somewhere it rained on the last day and the carpet in the morning was super wet along the window. Couches were uncomfortable feels like it pushes you head forward and the TV had no Internet connection to watch Netflix like advertised. The place is very run down and needs a really really good clean! The accommodation was close to town and quiet. I wouldn't recommend this place spend an extra $100 and stay somewhere else
We stayed in a 5 person Dormitory and all the guests are quiet, friendly, kind, very respectful to each other. The location is perfect for grocery shopping, visiting other attractions. It's around 35min drive to the Cable Bay Adventure Park. We booked the Quad Bike game for 2.5hours and it's so exciting to make it part of our road trip. My son liked it. It's also close to the City Centre and the another highlight of our tour in Nelson, the Centre of New Zealand. The kitchen provide everything you need for cooking. The vibe of the area is so nice. Xmas decorations are pretty relaxed and we loved the Chocolate budding with Ice Cream everyday at 8pm. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at the Apex. Our 1 bedroom suite was spotless- even the windows. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and large tv with dozens of channels as well as access to sign in to your Netflix or Amazon Video accounts. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the beautiful, sandy beach is about a 7 minute walk. It is privately owned and the couple who run it go out of their way to make sure all of their guests are taken care of. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.
Good motel, beds are comfy, room is clean & spacious. All the utilities are clean. Good locations to everywhere. Would come back again next time in the future Happy with the motel. Thank you 🙂
Great central location with restaurants and shops nearby. The room and bathroom were very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Onsite parking was also available.
