"This is a great hotel/backpackers. It is warm and cozy and welcoming. It has a big lounge with pool table and lots of couches for watching TV. That is, if you can take your eyes off the artifacts on the walls and suspended from the ceiling. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The room I had was very comfortable. The walls upstairs are adorned with interesting photos set in their own unique frames; it's well worth an hour or so just looking. It has a very creative outdoor area for summer. This hostel has so many unique and interesting...  more »

"A nice place to stay in Kaikoura - We went there in April and got the en-suite room on the back which has a nice "sunrise" view of the ocean. The room was spotless with four single beds (no bunk). All the amenities are there including kitchen, refrig, microwave, utensil, and even a radio. The hosts were nice and appeared excited to welcome guesses. The only catch was that there was no heater installed in the living area, so we all had to group inside the bedroom after a while. A nice place to stay, overall." … "This hostel was great....  more »

"This was the best hostel I stayed at in New Zealand. Wonderful mountain view, and the scenery at night of the stars is wonderful from the beautiful lawn area they have outside the hostel. Very clean, and awesome kitchen." … "If you are looking for a nice, quiet hostel with an almost family-like atmosphere, Top Spot is the place to be. Great view from the balcony, even better barbeque. Dave, Dennis and Daniel will take good care of you. They even start the fireplace when you are coming back from the seal swim freezing your butt off....  more »

"It's awesome!" … "This was a quality place, especially because of the free cakes at 4 p.m. every day." … "Of all the hostels I've stayed at in New Zealand this one wins hands down.
