This place is just beautiful and amazing. And it's SO clean and comfortable. The beds are great (we stayed in a tripple room). The owners are sooo nice and their dog is amazing! =) I could go on forever describing the good things about this hostel but trust my words when I say that this is the best hostel in... More

Clean and private rooms and a separate kitchen. Nice rooms with Bali furnishings and great outlook onto the surrounding rural areas. Great access to the caves which are a must. As is the rock forest. Kitchen and lounge well furnished and they have everything you need. A bit far out of town for those without transport. Steep drive that takes... More

The lodge is out in the middle of nowhere, or so it seems - it's about a 10 minute drive from Whangarei.

The furniture in the rooms comes from Bali. Very quiet, nice view from the rooms. Very friendly staff. Clean. Charming.

We really enjoyed staying at Little Earth. The rooms and the beds were excellent so we both had a great nights sleep. It is also located right next to the Abbey Caves so you can explore these for free and see thousands of glow-worms. We stayed there as we were diving at the Poor Knights so its kind of on... More
