Overall Ratings & Reviews Egmont Eco Leisure Park - Hostel

Exactly as advertised, don't expect anything other than what is presented. I must say, the staff are incredible! Helpful, informative, and friendly.

This hostel is very affordable and the shared kitchen areas were average and ok to use but the overall campground buildings and family units are very run down both outside and inside. There was also a continual bad smell which smelled like very dirty washing and body odour. There were also long term tenants in the room next to us and we could literally smell a bad odour coming out of the room The actual nature part of the campgrounds outside was quite pretty and the location in terms of getting to the city centre was a short drive which was helpful. The check in was very old school with it taking a long time but the staff person who served us was friendly enough. The entire property really does need a good clean and spruce up.

The place was old and needs a upgrade

Close to town with a rural vibe

Nice backpacker manager giving me a whole dorm room to myself to give me privacy

Nice hostel set in a beautiful little space amongst native trees tucked away reasonably close to the heart of New Plymouth.

Close to where we needed to be and friendly staff. Thanks!

If you want to go to mountain this place is not for you. Bad information about tours. Place is Noisy can t sleep at night. Owners i found that is bully calling me young men even we look the same ages... bigist is owners are so racist. Give white good infor about the places and tours but not to asians . Naver go back.

For the price and as an emergency stop, it was great! There are signs at the property saying "check-in at 5pm" which doesn't reflect what's on this listing (says you can check in until 9pm). We were lucky that it was a busy night and another group was also checking in late, so no troubles. They will also ask for your ID and address.

Location to event, Bowl of Brooklands

One word unclean

Amazing service! The lady staffing the reception was super nice. Great to be given extra blankets and a heater in winter since it was freezing out, and the price for the room was decent.

I hate to say, wouldnt stay again. Usually check in is 2pm. This place a hard 5pm. We arrived just after 4pm and no wouldn't check us in. Pics showed a TV. No TV. Had adjoining rooms we couldn't lock from our side so had to trust staff. Gave us a sheet and pillow cases and made us feel like we should of had them, yet we told all provided No internet. Do not recommend for families. We have stayed many places and only exoect what they say. Pay for what ylu expect but at 185 expected more.

Great place not too far from the town center

This accommodation was below expectations. Everything was clean, but the place was run down and eery. I wouldn't have felt safe staying there alone. No smoke alarms either. Won't be going back. Smelled of cigarette smoke. It's more like a very basic holiday park than a backpackers. The short check-in timeframe at 5pm was inconvenient, but I knew about that before booking. It's surrounded by bush, which is nice, and has a pretty stream behind, but it had an isolated feeling with few guests, and an uneasy vibe. Was cheap though, and conveniently located. Person at reception was friendly.

A little hard to find but staff on phone were amazing. Very late check in and due to it being cold room was upgraded to a warmer room as we had kids

I liked how there was outside seating rooms were very tidy also

Every curtain in the unit is black with mildew. Dish brush in kitchen, all bristles were BLACK. Kitchen floor had crusty old food from previous guests. Picture on web site showed a TV, but was not one in the unit.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The property surroundings are nice and also handy to town. The room was clean and tidy but very basic. Bring your own towels and tea bags. Great for a quick stopover or camping. Would stay again and recommend for a quick visit.

Interesting site. Very efficient and friendly reception. Clean environment.
