- Great well stocked kitchen, although lighting the burners could be difficult. Complementary tea/coffee/milk also offered. The hot chocolate mix was excellent! - The room had good amenities and was clean with a good shower - Great location in downtown Wanaka. A supermarket and parking are right next to the hostel.

- We were in a twin room, but only one of the beds was next to an outlet. This is such an obvious miss and was surprising to find in a hostel that should understand details like this. - The room didn't have AC, but we were comfortable keeping the window open - The hostel doesn't have specific parking, but there are many options nearby - Reception / check in closes at 8:00pm. We found this to be incredible early, but the staff does offer late check in if you let them know in advance.

The location is great, I've stayed here before. Everything looks nice and clean and there are lots of chillout areas. Kitchen is also great in that aspect. I like the design, but it's a little cold and impersonal, especially the room. Could use some color. Staff was happy and lovely.

If you look a little closer, it's kind of unclean. I would have wished they cleaned the shower at the bottom of the walls and the ceiling from all the bugs and spider webs. The fridges also stink, stuff like that. Floor of the laundry room. It's the details I guess. Still had a great stay in a single room, again.

Large drawer underneath bed in 3bed dorm for storing belongings. Large clean bathroom with multiple toilets, sinks and showers, bath mats at showers, hair dryer. Several common areas. Large kitchen looked adequate tho I didnt use it. I was able to check in early and hang out in common areas after checkout due to afternoon bus. Next to food truck and short walking distance to everything. Staff promptly addressed my concerns with no cord to open/close window shade and housekeeping missing changing my linens.

Other guests as usual in hostels.

Location is good, as it is very close to the waterfront and there is a supermarket, creperie and coffee place next door. Toilets clean. Good hot showers. Drawer for storage under the beds. Access to the hostel is very easy, all sealed roads, right on the town’s main street. Walking distance to all the restaurants. They have an elevator 🙂 which was great as i was carrying heavy luggage.

4 bed dorm without much place to hang clothes, towels, or place your belongings, which is important when you’re travelling. The beds are comfier than bunks (no need to climb to get to the top bed) and the beds were already made on arrival, but they don’t provide any sense of privacy -that you get in other hostel dorms. This kind of bed disposition works best for groups that travel together. Pretty noisy room due to being by the main street. No off street parking. On street parking from 6pm. I had my motorcycle with me and we really dislike parking our bikes where we can’t see them and having it under the rain. Ended up parking in new world supermarket parking lot which i had a view to from my room window but was worried all night that they were going to tow it.

I love my stay here. There were only three of us in a room which is so much better than having 4-6 people in one room. I love their spacious kitchen and eating/living area that when it isn’t busy I stayed there to finish some work or read books. They’re beside new world so it was easy to buy groceries and they’re beside a coffee shop and crepe shop for when I’m lazy to cook. The bookstore is just in front of them and the lake is just a few minutes walk. Thanks for the extra pillow.

I spent over 20 nights in New Zealand staying in hostels with similar pricing and ratings, but hands down, this one is the best! It stood out for its cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and incredibly helpful service. I lost my AirPods during my stay, and the team not only contacted me to verify they were mine but even arranged to bring them to Queenstown with a staff member who happened to be traveling there. Their effort and thoughtfulness were truly above and beyond, and I deeply appreciate it!

Wonderful bedroom and kitchen area. There was a large amount of kitchen equipment and the cooking area was huge. Great dining areas and relaxing spaces. The location was perfect.

Unfortunately, despite our carrier bag being labelled and dated, the whole bag of $nz31 was put in the ‘free’ box 2 days before we left which was really annoying so we had to replace it all. Apart from this we enjoyed our stay thanks.

This accommodation was not our usual - it is a Hostel - but it was wonderful. We arrived late and I was sent clear instructions for entry after hours. The room was super clean and ours came with a private bathroom and linen provided. There is also a communal kitchen, lounge etc seperate to the bedrooms if you want to use it. All of it was lovely and clean - lots of neat people there too of all ages (retired Kiwis, overseas travellers - young and old). Location was perfect - no parking onsite but there was plenty nearby. The hostel is right next to the supermarket, a short stroll to the lake and town. Great coffee option just outside from 8am, and crepes - perfect way to start the day !!

Fantastic hostel, best that I stayed in during my time on South Island. Newly renovated so bedrooms were clean (room set up for 3 bedder is a bit odd - the end of my bed was directly touching the end of someone else's bed) and bathroom clean. Highlight has got to be location (right next to New World supermarket, 1min walk to the lakefront and resturants) and the kitchen facility (sparkling, huge and has everything you need). Wish I could've stayed here for longer.

Stayed in a private en-suite double room. The room is really basic, but there’s enough space for what you need. Kitchen area is really big and is kept clean by the staff. Free parking is just few meters from the entrance of the hostel. Everything is at walkable distance from the hostel.

Some rooms (not a lot) might be facing a busy road. Might not be ideal to keep windows open during the day
