The staffs were very kind and friendly. You have to pay for the wifi but the wifi in YMCA was good and quite fast compared to other places. There are some entertaining things you can enjoy with some friends such as pool, table tennis, board games and free bbq on friday evening! There is a bus stop right in fron of the building so you can get any places quite easily. It's a good place to start travelling in NZ and to make some international friens :)
