Their Description

The Hostelz.com Review

The YHA Westport Hostel - Bazil's Backpackers is situated right in the centre of Westport in a purpose-built building with a specious garden and a porch with seating facilities. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and pubs are within five minutes' walking distance.

Rooms are spacious and bunk beds are provided with covers, pillows, and blankets. Rooms are equipped for heating. A lounge is furnished with cosy sofas and armchairs. There is a television, a DVD collection, books, and plenty of games. A card phone can be used at the reception area and there are two internet terminals at moderate charge. Washing machines and dryers are provided. The communal kitchen is very well equipped and clean, with a large dining table. There are plenty of bathroom facilities, sinks, and hairdryers.

The hostel is a bit more of a lively place as the bus crowds rest here. It is easy to socialise at the Bazil's YHA and to find company to go on tour with. Plenty of tourist information are on disposal at reception. In general, the place is very spacious, clean, well equipped, and simply convenient.

Lovely hostel

This hostel is just as nice as those pictures make it look. One of the nicest, homiest hostels we stayed in throughout NZ. Not much to do in Westport though.

Great hostel. Strange town.

We stayed here in December 2008 as part of the Kiwi Experience. It's a great little hostel that has a really homey feel and the owners are top people. Though small it has plenty of character and a garden at the back which is a complete sun trap (and a great place to dry your washing for free!). Westport itself doesn't have a lot to offer but it has several bars and the locals are really friendly people that are happy to talk away the night over a beer. Or ten. Sample the beers and absorb some small town culture (by culture I mean gossip).

Bazil's is THE place to stay in Westport! I visited this hostel with Kiwi Experience and stayed there Christmas Day 2004 and had a barbecue. It was an awesome place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone! Enjoy!
