I enjoyed my stay here, the place had a nice, welcoming vibe. It's a well loved building that could do with a lick of paint in places but the carpet was new (I suspect it's hard maintaining a building this old.) There was lots of Reefton history on the walls which was useful as I had visited some of the places on the drive in. The whole building is open 24/7 but you have your own room key so security is not an issue (in fact I had the majority of the place to myself during my stay. Very surreal!). Outside are some established gardens which hide the street making it very peaceful. The building is U shaped with a courtyard in the middle. Great to sit in the sun with a coffee (or a beer!) and a book or chat to someone. Off street parking is round the back which made it easier to keep an eye on my car (I drive a Demio!). There's a large kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feed and a fridge/freezer to store food. Plus a lounge with settee and TV. Showers had good water pressure. All up good value for the price. Can definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere to stay in Reefton. …

I booked a twin unit for my son and I for today. We arrived but there was no response when I rang the bell nor the managers cell phone. The latter call asked me to text so I did. No response. So I called the land line and was advised to call the mobile which I did only to get the message to text. I am still waiting for anything, have booked in elsewhere, cheaper, and will cancel payment

Have stayed here twice now and very happy with my stays. Good beds, well equiped kitchen and nice lounge. Have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Location is fine, a short walk from town and food outlets. Good parking spot for cars and motorcycles. Showers and bathrooms are clean and there’s plenty of hot water.

Looked after very well by hospitable and helpful proprietor.... a very nice bloke to boot. Unlimited hot water and nice big old style baths - kinda retro but hey, you can pay a couple a hundy more for the exact same luxury in a flash hotel spa if you want ! Thank you (my back much better after the hot soak) cheers regards Mike.

The place is neat and tidy but there are a lot of spiderwebs everywhere which freaks me out abit. If renting out the rooms make sure they are free of them. The bathroom needs new shower curtains, very mouldy. The place is very dated and basic. Which isn't a problem being a backpackers. We have been to a few backpackers and camp parks around the country and this one was the most expensive and have to say not one of the nicest. The price is very high for what you get. Seeing that backpackers are for people who are on tight budgets. That's where I feel you being ripped off. The outside garden is pretty but where the rusty barbeque is, is very run down. I wouldn't want to spend time outside. Never used the kitchen or lounge facilities so cant judge on that. This is definitely not a case you get what you pay for, otherwise I would have had a spa bath.…

A bit confused about the high number of 5 star reviews so wanted to leave a review based on our recent stay. Pros: the kitchen area is really well-equipped, the lounge is huge and has lots of books etc, the back garden is very pretty, there is off street parking round the back and the bathrooms are clean and large. The manager/staff member who greeted us was a little cold at first but over the next days was really friendly and chatty, telling us about the wildlife etc. Cons: the description of "tastefully refurbished" did not apply to our room or others that we saw (through open doors before people had checked in). It is old and tired- in fairness I imagine that it's difficult to find time to refurbish this place as it seems to be the largest accommodation option for the area. No problems with an old or tired building or room or facilities at all but I think it's unfair to set expectations as recently refurbished when from the areas of the building we saw that was not the case. All in all, a fair option for somewhere that doesn't have lots of accommodation, but take the descriptions with a pinch of salt so your expectations aren't set too high.…

Rooms are clean and complete. I had a shared bathroom room. The bathroom is better than most... ie there is plenty of places to hang leave your stuff while you shower. So you don't have to magically balance everything on one hook. Location is also good.

In the chilly weather this very warm accommodation was very welcome. The kitchen facilities are excellent, lovely lounge and other warm areas to relax. Very clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay longer.
