Bright and sparkling, this classy hostel, purpose-built from corrugated iron and wood, is great for those wanting to get outdoors, with bike storage and hire, and staff eager to assist with trip bookings. There's a light-filled common space, a barbecue area and a great deck looking out over Kuirau Park. Off-street parking is a bonus.
