We enjoyed our stay. Rock solid is central. Went to the Thursday night food market 1min walk. Rock climbing wall was a added bonus for the children, they have a movie small movie theater and cafe, $5.00 Heineken. Ensuite bedrooms were clean and good value for money. Smaller rooms were ok, fans provided as north facing rooms get hot. Internal kitchen with every thing you need. Shared bathrooms were clean dryers and straightener provided. Excellent front desk staff let us know the best value for money experiences. Parking is affordable plus they let you know where to park your car for free when your out on an adventure for the day. Canopy zip line tours will pick you up from here included in their pricing. Duck tours,for the lake experience are in walking distance. Highly recommend this place as it had internal activities for the whole family.

Stayed for one night at the called "premium area" on Level 2 which has been recently renovated. The kitchen was awesome, toilets very clean. The room is also good but has no windows and no aircon. Staff really friendly and helpful

Super friendly staff, very helpful. Hostel is clean warm and has lots of space. Group area is a relaxed place where you can escape the hussle of travelling.

Driver Telli from Wild Kiwi Tours – February 2020

Loved the new groups area, everything there is brand new – beds (comfy too), lounge suites, dining tables and cutleries, oven fridge etc… Best of all its private so if you come in groups, the whole area is yours. worth the money. Staff were also very helpful and central location so close to all shops.

Synaa Lagavakatini Group – December 2019

I recently stayed here for 5 days with my group of over 80 people. We were more than pleased with the facilities, service, location, and most of all price. There was a games room that kept our children entertained for hours, a well fitted out kitchen, and clean dorm rooms. We never had any problems finding parking given that it was a long weekend. Other than that…a great place to stay!!

Hohepa Tamehana – April 2018

Our group had a great stay and we will definitely be back again – Rock Solid is fantastic for groups, having all the desired facilities and being located in the middle of town is just an added bonus!

The Group accommodation at Rock Solid Backpackers is a well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out space. Our team and staff were able to easily co-ordinate team talks, meals and team activities in the communal space and the rooms were modern and clean. The Rock Solid Backpacker staff were consistently active, available and friendly Otago Water Polo looks forward to any opportunity to stay with Rock Solid Backpackers again!

Thanks very much for our stay. The group accommodation was incredibly well set up. Great kitchen facilities, with everything you could possibly need to cook for a large group. The beds were comfortable and our teams had great nights of sleep. The staff were friendly and accommodated our needs. We could not have been happier with our stay and we will be back.
