Napier Art House Backpackers offers a welcoming atmosphere and a prime beachfront location, ideal for backpackers and surfers. With an average rating of 3.7/5 from 67 reviews, the camp is praised for its friendly staff, particularly the host Arthur, who is frequently described as exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Guests enjoy the cozy environment, cleanliness, and affordability, making it a great value for money. However, some reviews raise concerns about the facilities, including small, sometimes unclean rooms and inadequate kitchen supplies. Issues such as cold showers and limited hot water during peak hours, along with a lack of organization in management, have been noted. While many guests appreciate the vibrant community and the opportunity to meet fellow travelers, others found that the hostel's structure does not support the number of long-term residents, leading to overcrowding. Overall, expect a friendly, budget-friendly experience but be prepared for some inconsistent facilities.
