Liked: We liked the hot tub, the human sized chess board, the hammocks, and of course, the chocolate pudding!!! We also liked how the tv room was set up, kind of small, but they had the seating tiered, like a movie theatre, so you could fit a bunch more people. The kitchen was nice, lots of cooking space and dishes.
Disliked: that they only let us have one serving of pudding! :)

Liked: Very good hostel with an outstanding atmosphere. Due to its smaller size it gives a very cozy atmosphere with a very friendly staff. Another bonus is the daily offer of free ice cream and chocolate pudding at 8 pm, which serves as a perfect opportunity to get in touch with other backpackers at the hostel. Customers coming by ferry from the northern island will even be picked up from the terminal for free and driven to the hostel. Really great service!
Disliked: Nothing to be disliked about this hostel :)

Liked: free chocolate pudding - so good! we loved it here so much we booked in at their sister hostel in nelson too, called tasman bay. they also supply oil and some spices which makes your meal way better. kitchen size was more than adequate and well equipped. we had a regular double room which was a good size and the bed was ultra comfortable. free ferry pickup and drop off, free bike use, free outdoor spa use, free breakfast was the best which was four types of cereal as well as toast and jams. try the dutch bakery in town for good pie and cake!
Disliked: nothing, it was awesome, best hostel we stayed at in NZ

Liked: nice living room and the terrace. just a nice place to hang out and read a book.
Disliked: it was a little bit cold during the first night but everything was nice during the second one. it was also impossible to lock the dorm-room-door and they had no lockers. no personal problem for me but some might dislike that.
