“So ideal!”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Absolutely loved our night at crash! The owner gave us all the information we needed about our Maori village visit and helped us out as best we could, even dropped us at the bus at half 7 the next morning which was massive bonus! Had a wicked stay and would recommend it to anyone going to rotorua! Thanks!!!!

“Great location, very helpful staff.”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

Chris was our host and he made us feel most welcome. The location was just down from the Polynesian Spa and the lakefront park. Very warm inside and the upstairs is locked after 10pm, so also very secure. A good layout and very tidy.

“Clean, well appointed, attractive, great location.”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

Friendly reception from Max. Wifi is cheap, but not free. You can get discount bookings on local attractions at the desk and save big. Sounds like they had a real party going on downstairs (they had a DJ's desk in the lobby area!) but my room seemed fairly sound proof. Some hostels provide towels for single rooms, they didn't, but... More

Wifi is free when booking through certain sites as they cover the cost of this for us. I am going to look into putting towels in the single and double rooms thanks for the suggestion. hope you have a great trip through NZ More
