The Innlet Backpackers and Cottages

Rustic, clean and tidy. Very peaceful location and gardens.

Lovley! Its quite in the middle of nowhere like everything at the golden bay but its really nice here. There is a beautiful garden and a sky full of stars if you are lucky.The rooms are big enough and the beds are nice and not worn out. The kitchen has all the stuff you need and is clean. The living room as comfy couches and a fireplace which is awesome.The facilities are clean and alright.You can feel quite fast at home here.

I absolutely loved my time here. Kathie has been the most wonderful host. The hostel is clean and quite, has a gorgeous garden and a beautiful sunny verandah and comfy beds. It's on the way to Farewell spit and thus very convenietly located. I can really recommend this place :).

The Innlet was a fantastic place to stop overnight and provided us with a perfect base from which to explore the spit and surrounding area. Katie and Jonathan were excellent hosts and very accommodating, they let us know all the best places to go and more importantly when to go. This was particularly helpful as we managed to while a way half a day watching seals on one of the nearby beaches! Although initially quite chilly in our room it soon heated up thanks to the splendid log fire in the sitting room. All the facilities were second to none. All in all a wonderful stay and if we are up again we will most definitely stay again!

Cosy rustic cottage in a garden setting with bush, birds and a stream. Very comfortable bed and good kitchen. Excellent location away from the noise of the town

Lovely secluded location on the outskirts of Takaka. We stayed in the Opua Cottage which had a beautiful homely feel to it whilst also being the size of a small cabin which felt like we were living way back before everyone needed a 300 room house.Hosts were lovely. Be aware that the cottage has an external access toilet/shower so not ideally suited to colder months. There's also the old school" bar/restaurant close by which is worth a visit during your small town tour"

Really nice and lovely Hostel. The Hosts are super friendly, I loved it here. I slept in an five Bed dorm room, it was totally fine. The bed was comfortable and the room was really tidy. The whole Hostel has a nice atmosphere ✨I would definitely stay here again.(You need your own transport to come to this hostel.)

We stayed in one of the cottages. They heated my room prior to my arrival which was thoughtful. Room was really cute and beds relatively comfortable compared to other places I've stayed. Good bedding too - two pillows each, duvet and blanket. Great view outside on deck. Lovely falling asleep to sound of the stream outside.

Could not recommend this place more! We stumbled across it last minute and Jonathan & Katie were so accommodating! We stayed in the cottage and it’s absolutely incredible, super cosy - perfect for a country getaway! The outdoor bath set in the bush also adds to the relaxing nature of the place. Super friendly hosts & a super house!
