What impressed me the most about the Whangarei YHA was the staff. It is run by a full-time manager, rather than young travelers. This gave the place a much more professional feel. The manager set us up with a map and directions to to the local waterfalls and glow worms, and even assisted us with a mistaken double booking at... More

Really lovely little hostel, big enough to meet people, small enough to enjoy it. Staff were great, gave loads and loads of local information on sights and activities. The hostel was one of the cleanest i've ever stayed in. The dried herbs in the kitchen were great and the fresh herbs in the garden were just a bonus.

The host was excellent and introduced guests to each other so they could go on a walk to see glow worms. A nice touch. The kitchen was good, but the sitting room could use a couple more chairs. The rooms were clean and well kept. It gives YHAs a good name.

We stayed here for one night as our first stop over on a week long tour of the North. The hostel is up on a hill, a short distance away from the town, therefore we were grateful that we had a car for going to the supermarket and visiting the nearby caves. We booked an 8 bed mixed dorm with... More

This hostel was very welcoming and well kept. The manager Ally was incredibly helpful and friendly, she made us all feel at home. Its a bit of a walk to the town centre but there is a short cut the staff can point out. All in all a very pleasent place to relax for a few days, its helpful to... More

This hostel was small, compact and quiet but was not in a very good location as it is quite a long and steep walk to and from the city. The staff were ok but not very talkative! The facilities and rooms very clean and nice enough. This is a nice hostel but would not recommend staying if you are a... More
