I've stayed twice in Kiwis Nest, first in Nov-Dec 2010 & the second in Aug-Sep 2011. This 25th Feb 2012, I'll be there for the 3rd time with my parents, aunt & uncle (I told them that they must visit New Zealand, cause it's beautiful & this time around their tagging along). The ambiance in Kiwis Nest is suitable for... More

Very good place to stay. Pleasent atmosphere and very freindly and helpfull staff. Al times clean. We stayed in a double room ensuite and sleept great. The best hotel stay on our 3 week trip to NZ and one af the cheapest. So its more than excellent to the price.

We stayed here two nights in one of their double ensuite rooms- much cheaper than any hotels nearby and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Their upstairs kitchen is a beautiful place to cook and eat dinner that catches the evening sun. Really enjoyed our time here, would definitely choose this backpackers over others in the future.

This place is like a home away from home. This huge villa is set in beautiful gardens on the main street in Dunedin. Just a 5 minute walk from the city centre but still very quiet. The first night I spent in a dorm room with Irish, German and Chinese girls as there were no private rooms left. We were... More

I travel quite frequently for work, and find this place to be really convenient, with nice modern decor (but with the comfy home feeling going on as well). Kiwi's nest is always clean and the beds are really comfy. Showers are good and the staff are really friendly -nothing is ever a bother. Its an excellent alternative to the more... More

We only stayed here for a night in a double en-suite room. The room was quite cramp but tidy and clean. There's a TV, a fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, a writing table and an old cupboard. The size of the basin is just enough for you to wash your hands. I have to fill the kettle from the tap at... More

This backpacker hostel was situated within walking distance of the city centre,but has easy parking. The person who ran it was very helpful and friendly, bed clean and comfortable, showers and the new kichen were great. This rambling Victorian villa is lovely, but it does require some decorating and updating, eg peeling wallpaper and broken lampshades, very old bedding, kitchen... More

I think that I stayed in the exact same room as the previous reviewer, judging from their pictures. I was pleasantly suprised by this backpackers. The comforters on the beds and the artwork on the walls are quite dated, but the sheets were clean, the bathroom was modern and spotless, and the room is equipped with extras that you might... More

The Kiwi's Nest is a discount inn that provided us with a good night's sleep in a fairly charming setting. It is a converted old home, like a B&B, with some hostel-style rooms in the back. We had a double room with ensuite. The hotel is affiliated with the BBH backpackers (hostel) association. Reception was very friendly and provided us... More
