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!

What can I say, everything else is fine, I should say pretty good, but because it is a self-service check-in, so if you say check-in at three o'clock, check-in at three o'clock. Of course, it was written clearly when booking, and it is strictly enforced and it is not against the rules, but I was in other places Basically, other hotels have leeway. For example, if you go earlier, they will let you check in as long as there is a room. At least you don’t have to go early, but this hotel doesn’t allow you to check in at 3:00 or 2:59, because The key in your email cannot be used until three o'clock. Anyway, I would like to remind everyone that if you really care about this, don't stay here. Especially if you arrive early, you really need to wait outside the door until 3 o'clock. Because it is a self-service, there are no staff, and no one will care about you. This is the case for me.

Beautiful and comfortable environment

The location is good and parking is very convenient
