The Flaming Kiwi felt like a true home—such warm and wonderful people coming together as a family. We shared so many amazing activities, creating memories I’ll always treasure. One of my favorites was the yoga sessions in the park, where we followed the lovely Sophie into calmness.nEvenings were full of fun with movie nights, bingo, and the unforgettable Mario Kart competition.nChristmas Day was especially magical, spent playing games, sharing laughter, and enjoying delicious food together.nnThank you for this incredible stay. The will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Very close to Queenstown city centre. Only good thing about them. They say free parking, but only 5 spots, when they have 55 beds. Building more units out the back where was previously parking. They have 5 toilets and bathrooms for 55 beds, but the toilets are all in the bathrooms except 1, so in the morning and evening, you can barely go to the toilet. We were staying in a unit out the back, and were made to walk up the driveway and enter the hostel from the front if we needed to go to the toilet during the night. They advertise for long term residents, and it seems that these residents do chores in exchange or to discount their stay. However, on the final day we were there, they decided to close one of the kitchens and 2 bathrooms at 8:30am for cleaning, in peak usage time. We tried to use the laundry, but it was mostly in use for cleaning blankets by the hostel, and our washing was removed from the dryer before the load was complete and while items were still wet. Also, only fitted sheet on bed, no top sheet. Not sure why they have such high ratings, would give this one a skip.
It's hard to fault my time at Flaming Kiwi...nnThe place is spotless and is constantly being cleaned, other guests are respectful of this to making sure to clean up after using the kitchens.nnThe staff are helpful and friendly, really going out their way to help you out with suggestions and any questions.nnThe rooms are comfy, if not a bit dated. The bed was super comfy and there were plenty of toilets with showers so you never really had to worry about that. The only thing was that the curtains on the beds don't go the full length but thats a really small issue in my option. There is plenty of places to put valuables with a locker under the bed and another smaller set in the room also.nnThe long termers were all really friendly and chatty and made me feel like I was one of the family. It's a great bunch of people with regular visits from people who have moved out coming back to say hello.nnIt's super close to town less than 10 minute walk and there's limited parking outside the hostel, but you can park across the street for free no problem.nnOverall this place felt very homely, friendly and I would definitely go back if I was in Queenstown again!
Stayed here for 3 weeks when I first arrived to Queenstown and loved the Flaming! Firstly the staff are so kind and helpful, Emilia made my decision to stay at the Flaming so easy! All the staff who work in the Flaming are always friendly and up for a chat. The long termers here are all super nice, and the weekly events at Flaming are a great way to all hang out. Would 10/10 recommend!
I stayed at Flaming Kiwi in December of 2024. Here is my feedback:nnPros:n- Staff friendly, flexible - they were ok with a late checkout and allowing us to work from the common space throughout that day.n- Very clean.n- Good access to free street parking.n- Good location and proximity to the city.nnCons:n- There was a lot of construction going on in/around the hostel. This was very disruptive to our trip as my friend and I were working remotely and had to take meetings while loud noises were happening throughout our stay. We felt as though a discount should have been offered for this reason.n- The internet was a hotspot, and kept disconnecting. This was also very frustrating for taking meetings. Furthermore, the internet connection did not reach to our private room.n- A lot of people staying there are WHV, so it has more of a younger, dorm-like feel than a hostel.n- The dryer did not work very well and needed to be run twice, at twice the cost. Also, both washer and dryer are in the same room as one of the bathrooms, so you cannot access it if someone is using said bathroom.
