rachiebuwba from Wilmington, North Carolina wrote in Dec 9, 2007: "You really do. My boyfriend and I stayed at Base for a week or so while waiting to move in to our new apartment (we're backpacking in New Zealand for the year), and we only paid about 20 bucks a night for each bed. It's the cheapest place we found that is still reasonably clean, safe, etc."
travelpenny25 from La Jolla, CA wrote in Jan 8, 2007: "Stayed here for a few days before heading to the South Island. Great location and one of the nicer Base Backpackers have stayed at. It is a large hostel with slow elevators but if you don't mind stairs then it's cool. They have a great little club downstairs as well but within a few minutes walk of many other clubs and places to eat."
