It's straightforward if you can get access to the pump which is what the other end will be connected to. I managed to remove and clean the drainage hose on our machine without removing any panels simply by turning the machine on its side and accessing everything from the bottom. You'll probably find that replacing it will involve taking the back panel off and undoing a few clips but that's easy anyway. Just be sure you fit the pipe back on the pump properly or it may leak.
Where's the hole in the hose? Presumably it's in the section running from the rear of the machine to the waste outlet. Since there's no great water pressure involved can you not simply repair it with some self amalgamating waterproof tape or something similar? This would avoid fiddling around with anything else.
