Hostel Overview
A new small 5 star hostel nestled in the Marlborough Sounds with excellent modern facilities, close to a safe swimming beach and beautiful natural bush walks. A great location to just relax or an ideal base for exploring the tranquil untouched environment in the sounds. Play some volley ball, take a kayak for a tour of the bays or enjoy the local walks. Wind down with a soak in the large modern spa and then retire to the movie lounge for some big screen entertainment.We are 5 mins walk to the popular Queen Charlotte Track for stunning bush walks. We have free kayaks available to explore the tranquil bays or you can hire a mountain bike locally. Relax on the beach and take a swim off the local wharf.
We are consistently a top rated hostel in NZ and we guarantee our rooms and facilities will be among the best in your travels here.
Many guests ask to extend their stay upon arrival, so consider booking an extra night to ensure you have adequate time to enjoy our facilities and the beautiful relaxed environment here.
We look forward to your stay with us in our piece of paradise.
