Travelled over long distance, managed to take a night off at Turangi, small town south of Taupo. Booked into Extreme Backpacker. Place was empty, the entire property had only 4 people including me and the owner himself. Very friendly owner, had a great chat. Place was nicely maintained, shower and water pressure was great. I think it was initially designed to fill the summer and winter skiing season, I am quite surprised to see no one stops by during month of April. Room was tidy, neat, spacious, well equipped. Shared kitchen was nice. Common room was huge with a very nice fire place. Would definitely go back if I ever choose to stop over by Turangi again.

I loved this place! By now, one of the best hostels I've been. Coat, the manager, has amazing energy to make you feel like you are at home! Thanks for these two nights and for the fish! The dinner was so great! ?

Great hostel with good facilities. Good WiFi, kitchen, and living space. BBQ available too,close to new world and petrol station. No laundry service available though. The room was very nice with comfy beds and the lady who runs it was very nice and friendly. Also very accommodating upon us adding an extra night allowing us to pay after we returned from the crossing. Only a 20min drive from shuttle pick up point for those doing the tongariro crossing. There is not much to do in the town though. Very quiet.

We had the en suite, it was spacious and clean. Free WiFi available, laundry and dryer at a fee of $5. Kitchen is quite spacious and bathrooms and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay at if you are heading for the Crossing, as it is a short 25 mins drive away.

Reserved a small private room prior to a Tongariro Alpine Crossing hike day. Arrived quite late and still everything was cristal clear how to get in, get the keys etc. The place is spacious, proper, with loads of gear to cook and relax. It was winter time and the heater provided in the room was very welcome and working very good. Thank you,

Stayed just a few days here.Spacious,clean,well equipped kitchen but wouldn't really recommend it. Unavailable & not to welcoming staff (think actual owner wasn't around that's why maybe?). The laundry is all the time closed eventhough it's in the opening times and when we tried several times during the day to reach the staff to use the laundry we couldn't find them. We were hiking so would have been good to wash our stuff.. Searched,text,called but no reply.

Terrible service. Arrived during check in hours and reception was locked. After ringing buzzer and knocking on the front door a worker opened the door to door. She was dressed like she was going to bed. Didn't know of my booking. I asked when they close and she proceeded to go on about how she doesn't get paid and the only people staying here are long term tenants . When she found my booking she handed me the key. No info or instructions about facilities. Room was clean but old and musky smell. Room was freezing. Heater provided was broken. I wouldn't recommend staying here. Your car would be alot more comfortable than this place. Save your money, don't go.

The best backpackers we have ever been to. The staff was super friendly. Very reasonably priced rooms and facilities. If we ever come back back that side, this will be our first choice. Very clean, I liked how everything, was kept ready for us at a short notice, including our entry code late that night...God bless!!!
