Friendly staff and long term guests, arrived with a group tour and the property was oversubscribed meaning I didn't get to stay in the original room I booked but instead a big dorm room to myself.

Room smelt very bad, like it was damp. In room description it listed shower and toilet, but there was none. Walls are paper thin could literally hear the person in the room next door talking to themself.

Hatten die Suite ohne Küche, diese war wegen vieler Kiwi-Reisender überfüllt und haben unseren Kocher für Spagetti aus dem Wagen geholt. Die Suite selbst hat muffig gerochen. Für eine Nacht OK, mussten aber die Betten abziehen.

Quaint. Was very quiet because of the lack of overseas tourists due to Covid. Room was clean and spacious. On-site amenities were great. Staff very friendly. Had a slight glitch where I ended up getting charged twice - once by Expedia and again on arrival. Once I realised this and brought it to their attention), they refunded me very promptly without question.

Great relaxed backpackers

Stayed for a few nights around an event out of Westport. Great outdoors areas with a massive courtyard with plenty of tables and hammocks. Really chill vube and just nice and relaxing. Had a private room, everything was nice and clean, about what you'd expect comfort wise from your average backpackers. Would recommend as a good base for a west coast stay.

Surfer-dude experience

Decent place for one night or if you’re Surfing... Glad to see a place that stays away from plastic bags. Room was spacious, great essentials in the kitchen. Convenient walk to Main Street. Mattress was pretty old, so my husband and I kept rolling into the middle. Pillows weren’t comfy either. Shower pressure was great at night, but when everyone was showering in the morning at 8am, it was awful. The privacy was lacking as our room was on the way to some shared rooms and as people walked by, everyone kept peeking in. Some even opened the curtain to look in.

Awesome friendly and helpful staff. Great layout and facilities. Super clean and tidy. You can hear everything but they are good at the curfew of 10pm. Beds were not super comfy but you get that on the big jobs sometimes. Showers were amazing!! Definitely recommend.

Easy stay

Kitchen spotlessly clean. Room was cosy. Lots of lovely outside space. The ambient music was played too early in the morning and we could hear it from our room. Loads of parking. Close to everything Westport had to offer.

Bazil's - Studio, Ensuite (Queen & Two Bunks)

The staff were efficient and friendly - checked us in very quickly and we managed to put our stuff in our room and left for the supermarket within 5 minutes of our arrival. The premises was clean and pleasant. The common areas such as the large table in the kitchen and the fireplace were great for hanging out to chat with people we met on the trip. The room was exactly as pictured, a little tired, but clean, well appointed and spacious. We had an enjoyable stay - I would definitely return and recommend Bazil's.

Amazing character

What an amazing hostel! Comfortable room, great wifi, everything was clean, but what I especially loved what the overall character of the place. There is a big inner courtyard with plenty of seating and hammocks for guests to hang out. The entire place is painted with bright cheery colors. Owner was super friendly. Wish I could have stayed a few more days.
