Walking to town and everything. Great outdoor space! Amazing artwork

People coming to the room without knocking. One said he was housekeeping after opening the door before 10am on the first day for a two night stay. The other one didn’t knock and didn’t mention who she was, just asked if there was something left on top floor. I’ve slept really well but my partner thought it was noisy early in the morning. After all it’s an hostel, can’t expect to be quiet.

We really liked it there. Great staff, super friendly and helpful. Everything is nicely decorated/painted. Its very spacious. The bathroom and showers have been very clean and looked super new. Our room was (12) was very quiet. The surfboard rental and transport to the surf spot was easy. Well organised. We would have loved to stay longer. We felt very comfy and cozy in our room. Not only for "young backpackers". As a mid 30s couple great as well :)

The family rooms are great! Everything you need is there. All linen, blankets, and towels provided which was a bonus! Super friendly and helpful staff! Great atmosphere, colorful and quirky, we really liked the whole vibe of the place!

The family room bathroom is like a wet room, and when you have a shower the water goes EVERYWHERE, could do with one of those rubber water stoppers that prevent the water from flooding into the rest of the bathroom. On a good note the water pressure in shower was really good!!

-The location is great -Plenty of heating if required, the rooms are very warm -The common areas such as bathrooms & showers & kitchen are reasonably clean and the kitchen is very well equipped -Nice and quiet during my stays -Office staff are friendly

The only thing I can mention is that they don't provide hair dryers for rent, and I had to remind them to change towels, other than that was awesome 😊 Will definitely come back again

The self catering kitchens have improved since I was here previously, and there is also a kitchen serving evening meals, mostly pizzas I think, which is well thought of. I love the outdoor spaces and the beautiful murals. It’s quite quirky, self contained, and yet the town centre is very close by

It’s a busy time of year so dormitories were full

Lovely homey feel. Beautiful paintings everywhere. Lots of plants, great TV lounge, overall very cozy.

The music playing in the common areas all day long. It's audible in the rooms as well and is honestly really irritating. Also, please fix the cutlery drawer in the kitchen, it gets stuck often.

The atmosphere of this place is second to non. It is chilled, relaxed and offers all you need for a backpacker stay. Bed was comfy, if a little wobbly. Multiple kitchens on site, and cleaning facilities right behind.

Was limited showers and toilets for the number of guests, just prepare to be patient.

Had an absolute fantastic stay at Bazil's. Didn't intend to go as far north as Westport, but due to lack of lodging elsewhere we ended up in Westport at Bazil's... FANTASTIC!!! Would book there again for sure. Funky and fun property. Laid back atmosphere. Eclectic but clean and tidy. Will take advantage of surf lessons next time. Definitely hit up Whanake Gallery & Espresso Bar and The West Coast Pie Company... both Stellar!

Location fabulous. Friendly and helpful staff. Didn't use all the facilities provided as first time there, but looks amazing. Love the look of the Yurts. Definitely trying those out next time.

Did not realise that the four beds were 2 bunks (and they need new mattresses)!! Not that comfy! Maybe some towel rails to hang wet towels and bath mat.

We don't normally stay at backpackers preferring more of our own privacy - but ended up booking the en-suite family room due to Westport being fully booked elsewhere ... it was perfect and we were blown away! Roomy (double bed and 2 sets of bunkbeds upstairs), own bathroom and cooking facilities, private access. Staff were great. No noise at night. Shared facilities were there for those that wanted. Loads of parking. The murals around the building were amazing ! We will definitely be back :-)

Nothing !
