If you're looking for a 'home away from home' on the other side of the world, then Kiwi House is the hostel for you.

The community atmosphere in this place is hard to beat too - how many hostels do you know that boast free haircuts, free saunas, a communal herb garden and frequent patio BBQs? Kiwi House is a gem of a hostel and a perfect place from which to explore the South Island.
