Yes we do. It is completely free of charge.

 

Are you a party hostel?

No. We actively encourage guests to socialise together and our guests often cook dinner together, play games and go out to the bars in groups, but we also want our guests to be comfortable and this means we have a no noise rule after 10:00pm so that all guests can get a good night’s sleep and enjoy the next day in Queenstown or wherever they are heading next. We have a Night Manager who is on-site for emergencies and to ensure there is no noise late at night.
