After catching our plane by default, we …
Fantastic Time on the Ice
The drive here was fairly uneventful - a pretty grey day. Scenery was very forested, but one particular part of the coast just north of Haast was spectacular in that it was absolutely covered in driftwood - an unearthly arrangement of assorted flotsam, jetsam and stones, some of which had been arranged by human hand into shapes and piles. Very …
NZ day 8 - South Islander glacier girl
This morning was a strange one, me & Jennie had both put our names down for the glacier walk but we both had issues. Me & my stupid bruised toe and Jennie has been bitten on her ankle which has swollen up. Now this wasn't going to stop us plus it was really my only extreme activity (if you can call it that) that I could do. I'm really …

“ Would give it lower if I could ”
Reviewed Apr 10, 2011
Room was crap, and the advertised rates are not the rates you pay UNLESS you're a member. Advertised rates should be what everyone pays for comparison purposes otherwise what's the point, I could say my hostel is $2 a night, but then put in the smallprint there's a $100 non-members fee on top! Rip off.
