This is a very friendly and pleasant hostel and a great place to relax.
The building is old but is clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and have plenty of space for to put your backpacks. There is a large balcony area that is great for reading or enjoying a quiet chat. The kitchen is clean and has everything you expect. There is a pleasant outdoor dining area, as well as a couple of hammocks and some sunchairs that are great for a quiet afternoon. The toilets and showers are clean but the showers are a bit cramped - there is little room to store your clothes while you're showering. There is a cosy TV lounge with a pool table. The hostel is five minutes walk from the centre of Thames (which is very small).
The owner and her son are very helpful and are both very knowledgeable about what to see and do around the Coromandel Peninsula. The owner's son often takes guests for a free ride in his minibus to a forest where there is a beautiful natural pool for swimming.
