Arthurs Pass
Mountain House (2)

  • We stayed at one of the cottages for a week end of tramping around Arthur´s Pass and it was great. Very comfy with a nice fire place, equiped kitchen, and the cottages are quite small which means it feels homier and is quieter than a backpackers!
  • Auckland City
    Auckland Central Bkrs (1)
    starstarstarstarstar
  • This place has got everything that a traveller arriving in the country could need, information on travelling and help on finding a job is available here. It´s a very big place that I found a bit impersonal, but certainly, clean, tidy and efficient.

    Manor House (1)
    star
  • This place was a health hazard! The bathroom was disgusting, there was one very dodgy looking towel hanging on the rail for guests to wipe their hands on, the loo seat was broken (and there was only one loo for each floor). The fridges in the kitchen reeked and didn´t appear to have been cleaned out for some time, besides being so old they didn´t function properly. None of the power points in the room worked so there was nowhere to recharge cameras etc. The pillows and bedding were stained and very old.

    Glow Worm Cottages (2)

  • pretty average, not particuarly clean, thin walls (ie noisy), and a 3 book library. On the plus side free hot vege soup, torches for the glow worms and bike hire is a nice touch.

  • Very retro hostel! A bit of a walk from town, but worth it. Helpful staff who will book all your activities for you and give you directions to the thermal stream (about a 15 minute walk away where you can sit in the river where the thermal water comes in - a hidden gem, and for free!). Loved the comments written over the lounge walls. Clean and comfy, what every traveller needs!
