| Every hostel in New Zealand was wonderful. All were located close to attractions, were clean, offered kitchens to prepare our own food and staff friendly. In some some cities, I stayed in family hostels and was able to speak to the owners and learn a lot about New Zelander's values and life style. A+ | ||

| I had a great room with excellent shower and fresh towels everyday. The staff responsible for cleaning out rooms always, without hesitation, let me have clean towels everyday to use after an excellent shower that came with my room.Nobody stole any of my food from the kitchen fridge. Although I didn't mix in with the travellors I always felt at home as I was brought up in an orphanage with many children so I enjoyed being with people again as I feel lonely living by myself in Auckland and that is why I stayed at YHA .... to be with alot of people and enjoy timeout at the township of Rotorua looking and walking around the shops. Thank you for making me feel at home and letting me stay with you all at YHA in Rotorua. All the best,,,,,,, One' Hughes from Auckland.
