希庫朗伊住宿旅館(Hikurangi StayPlace)

This has to be the worst accomodation I've ever stayed in. The security is questionable as some of the locals come in for late night (midnight) rowdy conversations with their friends banging on the outside door to get in. Then if that wasn't enough your shower will be cold to tepid. When I questioned the manager she fobbed me off with " the plumbers coming next week". So it never got fixed. They don't have a mechanical dishwasher so all the plates in the commercial kitchen are hand washed. I'm pretty sure this was where my bout of dysentery came from. The plates are stored in a cupboard that smells of rotting wood. Sure, this is a cheap backpacker accomodation. However contrary to what is advertised there is no breakfast included, no tea and coffee supplied and complete indifference from the management to any complaints. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE. We left a day early as we couldn't stand it any longer.
