This place is a gem. Located across the street from Intercity bus, next door from the train station and 50m away from the ferry terminal, the location couldn't be better!
There weren't a lot of people when I stayed and instead of cramming everyone in a single dorm, they let each guest have an entire dorm. I appreciated the gesture very much. Moreover they provide towels (not common in NZ unfortunately) and there is breakfast available and included. I highly recommend this place

Warm and friendly welcome. Offered choice of rooms. Modern spacious living rooms with nice deck and well equipped kitchen. Bathroom large and clean. Great location close to both ferries and a cross road from bus stop to Christchurch. 5 mins walk to high street with bars and restaurants and shops also close to marina

I needed a place to stay for a couple of hours and this location was perfect. The Intercity bus stop oblique opposite the hostel and the ferry terminal is next door.
I booked the same day and the turn around response was exceptional and the self check in directions was easy to follow.
The room was clean, the water power was strong and the kitchen was fully stock.

10/10 Exceptional
Hostel with several full service hotel rooms (which is what i had). The front door had a secure access code. The room was clean, linens soft and in good condition. The kitchen and dishes were new and in really nice condition and much better than similar hotels. Probably the best experience Ive had with any similar lodging. I slept well, but you are a couple of blocks from the ferry, so you may hear heavy trucks on the road early in the morning. It was quiet enough for me. There were multiple options for breakfast. The desk staff were responsive and made sure i had everything i needed. The towels were soft. It was a perfect fast overnight stay.

I stayed mid-winter, the place was honestly freezing. Don't book guests if you can't at the very least keep them warm
