The location was superb, very near the supermarket, bus drop off point, Dark Sky Project, the lake, you name it. The room was also comfortable, with an unexpectedly spacious bathroom. The common area was also beautifully designed, and the kitchen had lots of space for everyone to cook. I love that the back door opened right to the field facing the river and mountains, and we could head right outside at night for some great stargazing views.

It would help to have light switches near the bed for the main lights. The heater in the shower is also quite old and could be upgraded to a more modern device.

The location is perfect, facing the lack and only 2 min walk to the supermarket. The kitchen was so clean and had a lot of gas ranges (actually it was IH).

I stayed in a room with a bathroom, but the key didn’t work. I had to use the shared one, but i payed extra money for it, kinda disappointing. Also, i saw photos that show they have shampoo and body soap, but they only had either of them, I couldn’t identify it because no label was attached. And it cost 75 dollars for one night for a shared room, it is extremely expensive and doesn’t worth the quality

This was easily one of our favorite stays in New Zealand. The property is ideally located right across Lake Tekapo, offering beautiful views and easy access to the lakeside area. Both rooms we stayed in were clean, warm, and very comfortable. The King Room offered stunning lake and mountain views, while the Twin Room was spacious and cozy. The ensuite bathrooms were spotless and well-stocked, and the shared kitchen and lounge areas were very well maintained—clean, functional, and comfortable. Check-in and checkout were quick and easy, and we especially appreciated their late check-in process. We arrived after reception hours, but the staff responded promptly and clearly to our messages. Parking is easy for they are located in a complex.

No complaints at all. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Lake Tekapo.

Loved the location and the beds and room were nice. And the lounge/media room were cool.

The shower/bathroom was average and the lock on the door was broken so not secure which was pretty dissapointing for the price for what is essentially a backpackersOn my 3rd day my food was thrown out which was contained and labelled the day i checked in however i was told the date was suppossed to be my checkout date which i was not told there was only a sign that said label food no specifics. The house keeping staff said the bag was empty however, it was not. along with my food, my travel containers and cutlery were thrown out too all the girl could say was sorry and wasnt helpful. Other than that the stay was awesome it was a shame it was tainted with something that could have been communicated clearer

Stayed at Rm 2, ground level opp the bathroom. Close to Intercity bus dropoff/pickup point & supermart. Comes with lift so better to stay on upp floor rooms. The rooms hv no soundproofing. Can hear talking along the corridor and the slamming whenever the bathroom and room doors close. The motion sensors of the bathroom are outside the shower & toilet cubicles. Twice the lights went out while i was using the bathroom/toilet alone. The kitchen and pantry are well planned & spacious. Clear signages. Great view of L.Tekapo. Credos to the hardworking crew tt kept the bathrooms and kitchen/pantry so clean. Love the self-contained bunk. The room is stuffy with no aircon or fan. the 1/2 top.hung window had to be closed to keep flies out.

This place was fab! The facilities are great and the beds were very comfy. The dorms are quite small/tight with multiple people in there at once but I couldn’t really complain for the price and for how central it was in the main town. Parking was free and the kitchen was fab.

The kitchen was missing a few things, no washing up liquid was strange and there were very few spoons in the cutlery drawers. Otherwise I had very little to complain about! The staff were pleasant but not overly friendly or excited to give you advice etc

The location of Haka House Lake Tekapo is unbeatable - right on the lake with amazing views right from the building. The bunk beds are great, they have individual lights, shelves, chargers, and curtains. There are also lockers in the rooms that also have chargers in them. The kitchen was great, it's huge and there's plenty of room for a lot of people to be in there at once. Plus there's a decent amount of other common areas. And everything was really clean. Plus the staff were friendly and there's a car park just a couple minutes walk.

The rooms themselves are a bit small but that's not too surprising. The bunk beds are a bit squeaky so maybe bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The entire facility is comfortable and modern. The open plan of the immaculate kitchen is inviting and the upstairs "living room" is spacious, comfortable, and overlooks Lake Tekapo with stunning views. The staff is particularly attentive and friendly. Ingrid greeted us upon check in, making our encounter smooth. And when we asked for a chair for our room Denis took care of it immediately. The staff are eager to offer assistance and advice for walks or other excursions. If you are visiting Lake Tekapo you should stay at Haka House.

Modern very well appointed hostel with really good communal facilities in a fantastic lakeside location. Good variety of shops and restaurants and a large supermarket close by. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was fortunate to get a parking spot right outside otherwise it was a short walk away. Lake swimming and a beach about a ten minute walk. And Hot Springs a little further along.

Bit tricky to find while driving. Ended up parking and walking after doing a couple of unsuccessful loops following Google Maps. Otherwise nothing not to like.

Incredibly clean and convenient. All the little things they thought of made all the difference. Super clean bathrooms. Very nice shared kitchen with ask the amenities including refrigerators. Good security. Card access to hallways only for rooms in those hallways. Body wash provided. Lockers in each room.

Excellent property but the price was higher than expected. Our group of 11 had rented an Airbnb house in Te Anau for the same price per night as 3 rooms at Haka house. Haka was much nicer but the house had a yard and hot tub.
