The room was small but the bed was comfortable with clean soft linen. The shared bathroom and toilet facilities were clean and seemed to accommodate all visitors. The kitchen and common lounge were clean and inviting. Good value for money.

The pictures really don’t do justice for how beautiful this place and area is. It was quiet, had everything you needed, the view is stunning, it is short walk to beach and to walk to the falls! Highly recommend!

A peaceful, green stay
This was such a lovely place to stay, in a gorgeous location. I wish I could have booked a longer stay. The outdoor area was full of greenery and a perfect place to kick back with a book or conversation. The hostel had a cozy feeling, and also walking distance to a nice waterfall hike and to the beach.

This Beachstay is in a beautiful location. The house itself is very well equipped and has great common areas and facilities. Beds super comfortable. Everyone very respectful and friendly. 10 minute walk to the beach, and 2 walking tracks within minutes walk.

We unfortunately stayed just for one night at this beautiful Hostel. We really enjoyed the time there. The check-in was easy and uncomplicated. Geoff is a really friendly person. The walk to the beach is about 15min. We could definitely recommend this hostel!

Close to the beach and hikes. Very laid back. Jeff has great recommendations which are posted right on the wall for your convenience. He even has farm fresh eggs from his chicken available for $1 and a trampoline. So fun!

Very relaxing, surrounded by nature and with a hike to waterfalls just 5 minutes walk to. The surf spot was amazing and surrounded by beautiful views, beaches wore clean and had restaurants and campgrounds, basically everything you need for a vacation.

Un endroit magnifique. Très calme et paisible. L'endroit est très propre et la cuisine est très fonctionnel. Le propriétaire prend le temps de nous faire visiter l'endroit. Je recommande.
Ist ein schönes Hostel, aber man kann auch normale ‚Hotelzimmer‘ mit Bad haben. Ca 15min vom Beach und in der Nähe der Wasserfälle.

Ein kleines Juwel in einem ruhigen Seitental
Das Hostel liegt in einem bewaldeten Seitental, etwa 10Min zu Fuss vom Strand. Unser Zimmer (mit Bad) war das schönste unserer bisherigen NZ-Reise (nach 1 Monat). Wir fühlten uns darin sehr wohl. Schade, hatten wir nur 1 Nacht gebucht. Am Morgen besuchten uns Hennen des Hostels auf der Terrasse. Ihre Eier bereicherten schliesslich unser Frühstück
