Kiwis Nest - Hostel

The single room with a private bathroom was very nice and clean. It was a twin-sized bed so only good for one person. They included an extra comforter which was nice as many places in NZ get chilly at night, but there was no source of heating for the room. When I asked the staff if there was a way to turn the radiator on the wall on, they said the heat only came from a wood-burning fireplace in the lobby which was barely lit, so my room remained uncomfortably cold. There was also no free parking for the property, only metered parking which I'm not sure you can do for more than a few hours. I happened to arrive on a Sunday and left Monday morning which is the only time the street parking is free. The kitchen also can only be accessed by going outside on the 2nd story. The property was also very loud. I didn't sleep well because people were constantly stomping up and down the stairs inside and outside, and a security light kept turning on outside my window which did not have blackout curtains. But the shower and bathroom in general was nice, the bed was comfortable, there was a mini-fridge in the room, the place was close to restaurants, and the wifi was good.

Very good room size for the money. Fridge and tv in the room!

They mention that they have parking but there are just 3 spaces that looks like taken by employees themselves.

Bit expensive but good facilities.

It was nice and clean. There was good organisation. The manager seemed personable. Reasonable location

It was cold inside when I arrived around 9pm. Could hear the tv through the walls at night.
