12 bed mixed dorm costs $18 pp plus there's free wifi for about five hours! (Over here wifi is rarely free.) Not bad huh? But no free luggage storage and owner is quite anal. He comes up with equally anal policies such as you cannot extend your stay in the same room after you've booked it previously online even though there are empty beds in the room (they make you upgrade to a more expensive room) and you can only stay maximum three nights in 12 bed mixed dorm. If you have not made up your mind whether to pay $45 to be a BBH member and need a cheap place to stay in Auckland, Silver Fern Backpackers is not a bad choice.
