T who runs the place is the most helpful knowledgeable person you'll come across. Makes you feel so welcome, nothing is a problem. Great facilities, it's like a house, as in it's got all you might need. I have had a most enjoyable stay. I wish them some busyness because they deserve it. Just not when I come back to stay (from Christchurch) lol. All the best, if I'm ever in the area I'm staying here again!

8/10 Very good

Great location: beaches, shops, cinemas, restaurants just on the doorsteps. The owner Julie is a lovely lady. The room is nice and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean. Kitchen is good. But the amenities are very basic: no plugs for phone in the room, no towels and hair dryer (you need to hire them). Wifi didn't work in my room. For a short stay I absolutely recommend you to stay with them.

4/10 Fair

Not great
I booked in for one night to break a long journey. However this backpackers was noisy and had a weird smell. From the furthest room in the corridor I could still hear the talking and loud tv until nearly midnight, as well as a dryer or spinner in the next room that started and stopped from 10.30pm. Near midnight I packed my stuff and left. For me the cheap price wasn't worth a night of no sleep.

Room smelt badly like dirty socks. Doonas ripped and old lumpy pillows. Bathroom and kitchen basic and only reasonably clean. Easy entry and sign in procedure. Breakfast bag supplied with 2 slices of frozen white bread and some cornflakes.

Central Backpackers
We hired a room for a couple with a double bed.The room had steel frame bunks for 7 people with a double bed as the bottom bunk of a two tier setup. In the end we chose to sleep in separate single bunks. The facility was clean. We were pretty much alone and although there were others staying there we only had contact with one person in the morning we left, apart from the man who gave us the key when we arrived but he left early. Someone did their washing at 3:00 AM and the spin cycle made one heck of a noise - we think it was a permanent resident.

2/10 Poor

No room despite booking confirmation!
I booked this room well in advance for a pre-planned event but when I tried to check in on the day I was told that no room was allocated to me and no other similar room was available. Due to the event being on there were very limited options without having to pay A LOT for another hotel. I managed to scab a night on a lounge at a friends place but this was definitely not the night I wanted before the event.
