Hostels in West Coast, New Zealand

The staff were super efficient and friendly. I met Sandler and Daniel, and they have been super kind and giving me advice for hiking tracks They are always the first to rise, making sure everything is ready.

I arrived pretty late that night and I have no issue in finding my room. The room was prepared perfectly with the heater on beforehand, so it kept me warm really well. The bathroom was soo spacious that you could literally dance inside. Well sorry I forgot to capture the room only the reception haha.

The apartment we stayed in was quite new and felt pleasant. Rooms are quite spacious and clean. The Kitchen was new and well equiped. It’s in a small township near Fox Glacier. There was a view point, which was about a few minutes driver from the motel, where the view of the snow peaks and glacier was spectacular. It is also not far from Franz Joseph glacier.

When booking the motel, it was stated that it was for 4 adults. When I checked in, I found that there was only one room and a bunk bed in the living room, which was not very comfortable. In addition, the toilet is in the room, and someone will be woken up when going to the toilet at night. It is not suitable for more than 2 people to stay.

This hostel is of character, it's fairly close to the train station and the house lady is very kind and friendly. It was a really great stay for me 😉

Good location, near to train station, Woolworth and restaurants and cafes. They provide milk for coffee. Gave us suggestions on where to explore. Easy drive to Shanty Town and 30mins drive to Glow Worm Dell. However, bring your own toiletries like shampoo, conditioner and body wash - no holder to place them but on the floor. There were bugs flying in the room as the kitchen/toilet faces the garden. I had bites on my finger and a spot on my face. No power supply near the bed but on the kitchen area.

Such a spacious and lovely unit. Had everything that we needed and the spa bath was amazing!

We got like a bungalow unit! It was excellent! We late for 5 min for checked in at night but the person in charged was still very friendly and waiting for us. And still served us welcome drinks (milk). yum yum. The car may just parked infront of the house. Super convenient! And the space in the house was superb! Like it very much and will deft go back again in the future.

The room is very costly for motel standard. We have booked the room of 1 double + 1 single only to be told this is for 2 pax! Last minute being asked to top up NZD123 to accommodate 2 kids. The room is dated with basic necessities, hot water run out in the middle of shower and the bed is soft with parts sunk in.

Amazing and comfortable stay. Attention to details and nice touches. Very clean and well thought amenities.
