The large deck (now a rooftop bar) is a focal point for all who stay with us at Ariki Backpackers, being an excellent spot for socialising, meeting new people, enjoying food and refreshments, all whilst taking in the scenic ocean views.
A large kitchen with numerous ovens and cooktops ensures that there is always space to cook your Kai. The lounge has a large, wide-screen TV, and multiple couches and is the perfect place to relax and recharge the batteries.
