This big, old board-and-batten YHA hostel has a large garden for lounging, a well-equipped kitchen and standard rooms. It's a good one-stop shop for booking activities in the area, and the rooms wrap around a climbing wall – handy when the weather turns bad. Small shop on-site. Ask about rooms with views of the volcanoes.
