Pros: We booked two nights at the Peppertree Lodge because of the review of 9 stars, so we had high expectations. Our first impression was good, there were lots of seats outside, which is perfect for the current sunny weather. To get to all facilities, including your dorm, you have to go outside, which is nice in summer but could be a bit uncomfortable in winter. The staff was laidback and friendly :)

Cons: Because of the 9 star review we expected a bit more. Don’t get us wrong, the hostel was good and I would recommend it, but I would give 8 stars. We went to some other Hostels with 9 stars which were more comfortable, currently new renovated and so on. So our impression would have been better without the high expectations. We also expected more of our dorm room because we thought that we would sleep in beds made of wood (there are some wood beds in the hostel, so maybe it was our mistake of the booking, we don’t know anymore). We also saw that some bunk beds in the other rooms don’t have a barrier on the top, this could be a bit dangerous. But anyway, it was a good hostel and nice stay, we loved the outside area! :-)

Cons: Can't be helped and staff make you aware of it when you check in but bar across the road can be quite loud until the early hours of the morning, even if the hostel itself has quiet hours.

Pros: It is one of best hostels that I’ve been so far. Located near the lovely Paihia beach, the place looks like an antique house, offers relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor common area gives great views of the town while you’re eating or just chilling out outside. Owners of the hostel are also great, willing to give you useful information for browsing the area so as tours that you can do. All facilities work perfectly and my bed was really comfortable. Highly recommend if you’re visiting this town.

Pros: As usual, this network of hostels is one of the best in NZ! Perfectly clean, organized, very comfy with everything you need! It's a shame though that the Wi-Fi is so good that everybody staying on their devices in the common room and a few are talking to each other. Maybe organizing some social events sometime would help to create a friendly hostel atmosphere !

Pros: Excellent location.
Cons: Had a private room (double bed) which was nice, but a bit pricey, for the privilege, considering the type of accommodation. Also, TV didn't work (hopefully they'll fix it sometime soon), no aircon in the room - not ideal in the hot summer days and even evenings, but a stand alone fan, that was struggling to make a difference. Also internet initially worked for a few minutes, then decided not to.

Cons: A few suggestions : - no hooks to hang personal stuff in the female bathroom, - nothing to hang towels to dry in the rooms, - the locks of the individual lockers were not safe if you don't have a huge lock, otherwise anyone could open it... - no social events..

Cons: The room are really small. But under the bed where you put your stuff is hard to open and I pinch my finger by trying to put it back. Maybe changing these thing with a real kind of door?

Cons: We stayed in a private room and weren’t so happy about two things: it was incredibly hot in there (the window couldn’t be opened) and we would have wished for a cleaner bathroom (some hair and dusty surfaces).

Pros: Great spacious double room and very pleasant and easy check in.
Cons: Super rude owner who blocked our car and refused to move it until next day 10am, when we planned to leave 7am. Took a lot of call and arguments, as he did not care that he blocked us, to take 2 min of his time to move his car and let us out. Bathroom had long black hair over the floor Kitchen glasses even had someones lipstick on it! Dont even ask about plates...

Pros: The simplicity of finding the room
Cons: I arrived just after midnight because the intercity bus broke down and just as I was about to go to sleep some people came into the area talking really loud and one girl going on about not finding her key and did anyone have her key and then they went leaving two people sitting down to have a heart to heart with each other and their talk kept me awake so at 1.30am I asked them if they could take their conversation elsewhere because I could not get to sleep they went and I eventually fell asleep

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, good value BBQ each night. Well run. We had a private room, large enough and relatively quiet. Parking outside room.
Cons: Mattress was obviously a cheap one with springs poking through the fabric. No air con and small windows so room was very hot and stuffy until late into the evening.

Pros: The location was great for day cruise!
Cons: There was no place to put your toiletries in the small metal shower. If you went there to go on the cruise, its just a few minutes walk. We stayed in a 1 bed with bath and it was very minimal. Clean but bed was uncomfortable, you could feel the springs! The hotel is mainly a hostel type place so very noisy until late. Very hot in January with only a small fan.
