We were checked-in by a young lady at reception, who was very welcoming and answered any questions we had about the area i.e. recommended restaurants, closest supermarket and helped with our kayak booking. We met Stuart the next day, he was also very friendly and clearly makes an effort to meet each guest, which is a nice touch.
It is only a small hostel, with two 'huts' that consist of 3 rooms in each. We had the room with the en suite, which was simple and clean. It's newly decorated and pretty modern. Our room also looked out into a terrace, which faces the forest (jungle), with a table and chairs for each of the 3 rooms, so we took advantage of that to enjoy a few minutes in private and have some tea.
There is also a communal kitchen which is very clean, and has everything you need to cook a meal. The location is close to Abel Tasman (5min drive) and the neighbouring town Marahau, where the supermarket is (20min drive). The people staying at the hostel were very social, and you can always find someone to have a conversation with. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and would recommend this place.
