The host (Greg and family) was very inviting. He greeted everyone and his kids were well-behaved and friendly. This felt like a home away from home.

He had provided detailed directions which were flawless and easy to find the residence. The hostel, kitchen, living area, and bathroom were all immaculate. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Additionally, there were ample cooking supplies, spices, oil, etc. which is always helpful! His kids raise chickens and there are always fresh eggs in the fridge. Wifi was great, hot water ample, and only positive things to say about Waipi'o Hostel

Extremely close and convenient to Waipi'o Valley Lookout and parking, from where you commence the hike to the bottom and the valley to explore.
