Global Village was quiet, well priced, and had everything we needed for a short stay. Supermarket, bakery and swimming pool were a very short walk.

I loved the decoration, the gardens, the places to relax. I didn't like that there is no room with private bathroom, but it is a backpacker.

Loved its own unique style- photos didn’t do it justice. Clean, comfortable bed . Bit of a walk into town centre

Best backpackers I have stayed in in NZ. So much care taken to every detail. No point me trying to explain this place. I couldn't do it justice. Do yourself a favour and stay there Thanks Yuri and Russel for doing it so well. Peter
