The room is in dorm-like style. The washer is inside the room and you can hang your clothes directly outside, very convenient. There is a fan if the room gets hot at night. Daniel also rent out private rooms on this website. During my stay, there were a family with two giddy toddlers, another pair of older women, travelling friends and a group of surfers. You never know who you will meet.
The kitchen are adequately equipped, there’s space for your stuff in the fridge. The kitchen is slightly small, not convenient if two people want to cook at once. But the other guests are thoughtful, they don’t linger after they finish cooking. They also clean up straight away.
If you’re coming using public transportation, you can take Bus 26 or Bus O and walk about 100 - 180m. You can check for the time at their website. Or Google Maps. I use the place as the base as I head out to Raglan, Te Awamutu and Huntly. Make sure you buy the BusIt card as it is much cheaper. For groceries, you can walk for 15 minutes to Countdown.
