Nice place to stay

Refreshing hostel. Finally a hostel that isn't trying to get as much money from it's guests as possible. Free wifi, free breakfast that includes toast, butter, jam, cereal and milk. Pool table in the back. Friendly staff, clean common rooms. Close to the supermarkets and a couple blocks from the town center. Only negative was there wasn't much of a social atmosphere, but i was there during low season.

便利で静かな宿

2階のツインベッドの部屋に2泊しましたが、隣が女性のシャワールームで電気を付けると換気扇も回るので夜電気を消さないとそれが耳障りでした。 近くにスーパーマーケットがあり、繁華街にも徒歩圏内で静かな場所でした。

Clean, Comfortable, and Secure Hostel

My stay at Turtlecove Accommodation was very comfortable, and I would highly recommend it to travelers passing through Whitianga. It is located within walking distance of the town centre, two grocery stores, and a number of lovely beaches. The staff members were extremely helpful and the facilities were kept very clean. The rooms were tidy and well ventilated and the common areas were spacious.

Great stay aside from loud guests

The accommodation was nice and exactly what expected from a backpackers hotel. The kitchen was nice and clean. Very rowdy guests were staying when we stayed and made us feel unsafe during the night. They were up until about 2-3am and got into a fight with other guests. Other than the guests, a very comfortable stay & would recommend. Very close to the beach and shops and safe neighborhood.

Decent place. A little noisy because private rooms are adjacent to bathrooms or kitchen, but the sound was minimal at night because they close the common areas. Friendly staff.

朝食付新しくきれいなアコモ

メインストリートからちょっと入ってるけど近くには大きなスーパーマーケットも揃ってるし外食出来る所もいっぱいあります。 バッパーの中ではかなりきれいだと思いますのでおすすめします。 あと簡単な朝御飯も提供されてました。

Quiet place to relax

We only stayed one night, but it was a great place to relax after travels around the Coromandel with some peace and quiet. Has everything you need. Great value for money if you're not wanting to spend too much on accommodation.

Simple but great

We asked for a late check-in, which was no problem. The free breakfast was simple but all you can eat: toasts, cereals and milk. The room was small but clean and nice. The shared bathrooms were also clean and very close to our room.

Coromandel stay

This was our first experience of a backpacker's hostel and we didn't know what to expect. We were more than happy with tbe room and the facilities were clean and nearby. We were probably the oldest couple on the site but this won't put us off 'backpacking' again as everybody was really friendly and helpful.

편안히 하루를 보냄

호스텔이고 공용욕실을 사용했지만 불편함은 없었음. 늦께까지 시끄러웠다는 후기가 있어 걱정했는데, 조용한 주택가 분위기였고 함께 머물던 사람들도 늦은 시간에는 조용했음. 간단한 아침이 제공되는 것도 편했음.

Accessible, affordable and comfortable

Stayed here for a weekend while visiting Whitianga - all of the main attractions are a bus/ferry/walk away, and there are plenty of good food places nearby. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the room was clean (we stayed in an ensuite double room). Overall, a very positive experience and would definitely stay here again.

¡Buenos consejos!

La dueña del albergue es muy amable y ofrece todo tipo de consejos útiles para visitar la zona cuidando el bolsillo. La limpieza es correcta para un albergue, aunque justita durante la temporada baja. El desayuno es el básico de un albergue: té o café y tostadas.
