Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, so many bars and eatieries in the area. Very clean and spacious shared areas and overall a great vibe in the hostel, which I enjoyed as a solo female traveller. Loved how serious they are about the quiet hours too!

    Great location, near lots of restaurants and cGe and 5mins walk from the bus stop to take you to Mt Maunganui which has the best beaches! The balcony is amazing, and so lovely to have breakfast and dinner out there. Rooms are pretty basic but beds are comfy, the bunk beds shake alot but that's pretty standard in hostels. Busy hostel with lots of people.
