( 06-355 4054; www.peppertreehostel.co.nz ; 121 Grey St; dm/s/d $30/53/72; ) Inexplicably strewn
with green-painted boots, this endearing 100-year-old house is the best budget option in
town. Mattresses are thick, the kitchen will never run out of spatulas, and the piano and
wood fire make things feel downright homey. Doubles off the kitchen are a bit noisy -
angle for one at the back.
