I can’t say anything about the hut. It looks nice on the pictures…
I booked it for one night, because I had to leave my previous hostel in Paihia and needed to spend one extra night somewhere until my next booked stay in Auckland would begin.
I had my last day at work in a Bar in the evening and so I choose a check-in after 11pm.
Then the owner came up with an additional late check-in fee of 40 USD!?
I was not willing to pay 75 USD (~135 NZD) for one night in a little hut with just a bed in it.
I did not see anything written about any late check-in fees before my booking payment had been completed (correct me if I‘m wrong!)
My demand for a refound was not answered.
I lost 35 USD and did not check in…
Very sad. Would have been a nice experience otherwise I guess…☹️
