Oamaru Backpackers

We, a retired couple who don't speak English, stayed in this kind of backpacker hotel for the first time (mainly because it is close to the penguin base, a 10-minute walk, and the key is that we also want to experience it). We checked in by ourselves (we checked in very smoothly with the help of Ctrip customer service). It was the first time to experience this kind of backpacker hotel for young people. Unexpectedly, the environment was good facing the sea, and the linens were very clean. We booked a double sea view room and thought it had an independent bathroom, but it didn't matter. The public one was also very clean and hygienic! The public viewing living room was great, the kitchen was great, and there were simple free ingredients. That night, we saw several little blue penguins on the beach. The blue was super beautiful. It was super cute to see someone sneaking around! Taking pictures of penguins and interacting with them on the beach shore road left an unforgettable impression! The two elderly people played until 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel. That night, there were 6 young people in the hotel, 4 foreigners, 1 Korean beauty, and 1 Chinese young man (who has been in New Zealand for 8 years and came to play alone during the holiday). It was very happy to chat with him, and thanked him for giving us a pack of Master Kong instant noodles and an egg! It is recommended to live on the 2nd floor. Living on the 1st floor is a wooden building, and people walking on the 2nd floor will hear it! But it is very quiet when you sleep, and it is super beautiful to take pictures of the starry sky at night and the sunrise in the morning!

Beautiful and comfortable environment

The location is good and parking is very convenient

木質房子，走起來吱吱呀呀的，得輕點。沒有獨立廁所，大概兩三間屋共用一個廁所加洗澡間。 屋內設施可愛個性，有心了。根據密碼入住，若錯過郵件會很麻煩。。反正我是找了半天。單人床很窄，外國都一樣。

房間雖然比較小，但也是預料之中，畢竟沒有私人浴室。設施上説有獨立洗手間，實際上是一個洗手枱那種放在房間裏，馬桶也是公共的，如果介意的小夥伴慎選！還有就是停車並不容易，酒店內並沒有停車場，要停在路邊，那酒店門口就兩個車位，基本不會有空，而且不是酒店的房客也是可以停在這裏的，整條路上兩邊都是停着的車，很難有車位。酒店對面是一排私人房屋，門口空着的位置都不讓你停，説話非常粗魯，在新西蘭衹在這裏碰到過這麼粗魯的人，其他本地人，我碰到的都很友善。
