Nice atmosphere and also provided veggies soup but we didn't have it. Having shared hot tub, although it is a bit small.

Excellent location. Everything very organized and harmonious with a view of the glacier from the common area. They offer soup every night and breakfast in the morning. In addition, the rooms have a kitchenette.

The price/performance ratio is pretty good. It's a motel, a bit like a youth hostel, and the atmosphere is pretty good. But the soundproofing in the room is really bad, it can be said that there is no soundproofing. Then the roof is made of wood and creaks. . .

no need for a hotel or a motel, the glow worm accomodation is the best hostel you will find!! we are a couple in our honeymoon and the private room was perfect for us. the facilities (included a free hot tub) and the morning breakfast and evening soup (with no extra fee was awesome). the crew is the nicest you will find in NZ. super recommended.

Enjoy the friendliness and warmness of the hosts. Soup and breakfast a wonderfull touch. Hope to be back for a longer stay.

The room was of a reasonable size, featuring a double bed and a single bed. Unfortunately, we looked out into the back yard which was unkept and untidy. Although we knew we would have to share bathrooms and a kitchen, sharing only two showers and two toilets with three other rooms was quite awkward. A big drawback for us was the noise level. The rooms are not soundproof, and one can hear all the conversations going on in other parts of the house. Apart from that, Glow Worm Accommodation is not a bad place to stay.

What an amazing hostel! I booked a mixed dorm for myself, my partner, and my cousin who was visiting from the UK. Upon arrival, we had just completed a 5+ hour drive and were extremely tired. The business owner, Benjamin, checked us in, and he did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. We even arrived in time to enjoy some delicious free vegetable soup, which is served every evening. Additionally, there's a complimentary daily breakfast included, which makes this hostel an incredible value for the money. The dorm rooms are well-decorated and clean, and the communal areas and kitchen are also clean and well-equipped. I cannot recommend this hostel enough – it is truly fantastic. Thank you!
