My partner needs someone to stay close to North Shore hospital in Takapuna next week. Anyone familiar with any backpackers type accomodation in the area? I googled a bit and found this place, anyone been there and know if its good or scody?

It's clean, corporate, sterile, and without a soul.
Oh, the Top 10 in Lower Hutt recently hosted the National Front AGM, so there were about 100 Nazis staying there for a few days, apparently they felt very at home with the efficiency of the place.

And when I stayed at the Top 10 in Blenheim, I checked in, had my pick of a hundred empty sites, and when some young Maori guys in hoodies tried to check in after me the woman said "Oh, sorry, it's full."
(the vast empty campsite could not be seen from the office.)

That's two strikes and they're out, in my opinion, I'll be staying at other family-run camps in future if there's a choice.
But if you like clean and racist, they are cool.
