Beautiful hosts and a beautiful place.
When we arrived, there had been a power cut but Yoko and Tristan had lit the fire and the whole place was toasty warm. We went out to the hot springs and when we got back the power was still off, but they had placed tealight candles in the living areas and it was absolutely beautiful and warm and welcoming. Everything was lovely and clean and cheerful. The backpackers is a 1980s "Lockwood" home with wooden walls and ceilings- gorgeous atmosphere. It has agreat upstairs common area too with books and reading lights, comfortable couches, a guitar and a sketch book for people to draw in. Theres also a massage chair free for visitors to use.
Overall awesome.
