What a gem of a hostel! Our private room had a beautiful balcony that overlook the forest and the beach. It was very clean and cozy, and the bed was really comfortable! Would definitely stay again!

Cabin in the woods
Nice little cabin in the woods with everything you could need. The locals parked a little too far into the road so the rental had to visit the undergrowth a bit to get past.

Nothing special in Te Nikau Retreat
Shared kitchen was ok but don't expect too much, Room with attached bathroom was ok....Walking distance to the beach but misleading path signs i.e. many private properties are around this hostel. Check-in staff was very angry/rude when we turned up around 8pm, as there was no message before that to ask us to turn up before 7pm. The curtains in the room were translucent or not covering the higher windows....the sun light will wake you up in the morning. Will never returned to this hostel.

Very Pretty Area close to the beach
The hut or home is old but situated in a beautiful area. The single room I used is not suitable for tall person as the ceiling is very low (it’s an attic room) easily bump head to the padded wooden beams.

Nice quaint room. It wasn’t cleaned properly as there was still food from previous guests in the fridge, this prompted me to look inside the kettle and the kettle was old and flakey leaving me to decide that I did not want a hot drink. The property itself was beautiful but the amenities and cleanliness let me down personally

The rooms were basic and clean. Water pressure was minimal. Given it’s nowhere near any town, not unexpected. The walk to the beach was good and surroundings were amazing.

Our stay wasn't an unpleasant one and the staff did everything to help only, the communication was difficult seeing the receptionist didn:t speak English. Other than that was everything average.

Good stay but bring your food with you!
We stayed for one night, the room was clean with a comfy bed, full use of the kitchen including a stove, microwave, kettle and fridge. There was a large communal lounge area and two showers in our lodge which was plenty. Make sure you bring your food with you as there are no supermarkets for 40 minutes from the property and few restaurants that are expensive if you’re on a budget.
