WIFI IS NOT FREE. Had to start by saying that because I could not find it mentioned anywhere else in the listing or in other reviews, and the costs for wifi were steep, in my opinion, and charged by usage.

Secondly, for a hostel, it is very unique and nicely set-up, however, after the experience, the price seems high for what it was and compared to other hostels we stayed in all over NZ. Towels and laundry are also an additional cost, as they are in most hostels.

The room was clean and the showers and sink areas were also in great condition, however, the walls were incredibly thin and I guess we drew the short straw and ended up next to not one but two HEAVY snorers. Unfortunately, it was not a good nights' sleep. Location is great and pretty much everything in Pukaki is walking/biking distance.
