"The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing useful tips for the wide range of activities available in the Bay of Islands.  As for the hostel itself, it's one of the cleanest and most well kept hostel I have stayed in.  With excellent facilities (i.e. pool and Jacuzzi hot tub) and a great location, one could not ask for more." - Lance Simpson 2005
