This has ceased to operate as a backpackers and now only caters to long term tenants.
You can no longer stay here as a traveller. There is no longer backpacker accomodation on the Kāpiti Coast unless you have your own tent.

No longer traveller accomodation 

Clean, fresh, fabulous photographic history decorating the walls, good sized room with sea views, shared bathroom was very clean, shared kitchen and living areas homely and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend.

Lovely

Pleasant old building loaded with history and sloping floors!  We had a sea view room which was lovely - but was very hot with sun blazing in all day.  Normally I wouldn't complain about that but it did make it hard to sleep with no fan or AC in the room. beds were fine, facilities were as you would expect with  a backpackers.  Nice cool tea outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

great location for beach and access to Kapiti Island

Needing somewhere to stay outside of Wellington, as we had a long drive north the next day, it suited our purpose. 

Comfortable but not super clean, dust mainly around carpet edges and sand around door and window frames. 

Great location though, right across the road from the beach. 

Okay for one night 

I arrived at this place late at night after having nowhere else to go. The owner was very sweet and welcoming. She helped me carry my bags to my private room. It is a shared bathroom and kitchen, which was kept nice and tidy. The owner also helped me by recommending things to do in the area and where to get food. This was my first experience in a hostel and I felt very safe and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. You can't beat that it's also across the street from the beach!

Great Host

What a cracking old building steeped in history.

Izzy and I were heading up to Rotorua having just landed from the Interislander and had pre-booked Barnacles through travelbug as a stopover.

I would love to have had the leisure to tarry over the numerous old photographs and history of this lovely old building, two nights would have been good.

Our room had a double bed and sink with clean linen sheets.  Shared shower and toilet facilities were utilitarian and clean.  Kitchen was not the best equipped but was adequate.  TV rooms and lounges were marvelous, like staying at a treasured Aunt's house who lives with the paraphernalia of a bygone age,
