Global Village Travellers Lodge

I loved the place! The staff were like parents taking care of their children, they took my gear for me to another room when they got the news that there is another available spot in the female room. They're super caring, nice, funny and chill at the same time. They also welcomed my friends from another hostel and let us take the bikes for free. The hot tub for 5 dollars in the evening is super relaxing and the hostel is also full of things to do such as comfy Tv room and board games. It is just amazing, I would recommend it to everyone.

The first thing I noticed when I entered Global Village was how clean it was. It just gleamed amongst the vibrant colours, artefacts, cosy rooms with sofas and benches and tables and chairs. Then I met Jacinda and Paddy the owners. What truly lovely hosts. Nothing was a problem. They are just so kind and chatty and down-to-earth. The beds were fresh and comfortable, kitchen big and clean and well-equipped and the shred men’s/ladies showers and toilets were sparkling and beautifully appointed. This place could be anywhere in the world and it makes you feel like you’re part of an adventure. Don’t worry about party animals. All ages mingle nicely and there is a great equilibrium there that makes you want to stay longer. It’s close to New Wotld supermarket and town centre. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get to give Buddy the gorgeous beagle a tummy rub. Just book it :)

I loved that there was coffee tea and milk we had traveled so far and long and i had forgot to buy some so i was so stoked when i seen that It felt like home also i loved the hotties on the wall, i take my hottie everywhere i go for anxiety just calms me down, so i was very surprised,when i seen then hanging on the wall. it shows that you care about you visitors, i would highly recommend your lodge to everyone, i will be back thank you. spa was nice and clean as well ,

It's a truly unique and beautiful hostel where you easily fall into deeper relaxation. To start off with, the whole place is a piece of art! Every detail is made and cared for with a strong sense of quality and thoughtfulness. The kitchen is an inspiring place to cook, the fridges are clean, the knives are sharp and the pans are in perfect condition. There's fresh air flowing through the hostel during the day and warm air from the heating during the night. I feel like there's no end to all the good things I could say about the Global village. I guess I'm just very happy there's still gems like this around, where it's not just about the money, but about creating a beautiful place for travelers to rest, play boardgames, music and forget about the time for a while...

The most amazing hostel I've had the pleasure of staying at during my four months in New Zealand!!! The owners are amazing, super friendly and helpful I stayed there for 1 week and I had the best time ! The Kayaks and bikes are free which is amazing! Everything is super clean and just a nice atmosphere :) I would definitely recommend to go there if you are in the area.
