I booked this hostel for my 18 yr old son on a last minute basis. He was touring on his own for the first time. They looked out for him, helped him book outings, and even emailed me to let me know he made it there safely. The hostel is conveniently located to the I-site and the price was good.... More

We spent a night here in early June after visiting Abel Tasman during the day. It's located conveniently right across the street from the i-center in Motueka.

Right in the middle of Motueka but not noisy. Everything about it - carpark, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining - was generous, spacious, clean and well maintained. Great attention to detail, nice little touches, well equipped and exceptionally helpful manager. So glad we found it.

My husband and I were looking for a base to for Abel Tasman and the Hat Trick Lodge in Motueka seemed like a good spot. When we got into the room it was clean and VERY basic. We got a double ensuite room on the first floor. I could hear people on the floor above us which was kind of... More
