Wasn’t expecting a hostel but it was absolutely fine.

Clea and bright and everything we needed.

Bedroom was fairy small.

Rediculously overpriced for what it was. Staff were fine.

Just OK

Misrepresented on the site, not represented as a backpacker hostel with a couple of rooms with an ensuite added until we arrived.

Great location, clean rooms

Great location, easy walk to shops and restaurants. Large kitchen and lounge area. Room was a good size and very clean.

Water pressure in the ensuite shower was no existent. Walls a bit thin - could hear people in the hall and in the room next door.

Excellent would stay again

Super clean and I loved the dorms having their own little kitchenets. Privacy curtains, personnel lights and plug sockets near the beds are underrated and were great to have. Beds were super comfortable and upper bunk ladders decent in size with good footing steps. Really nice cosy vibe excellent facilities

Wifi is a bit poor Front door handle is so hard to open due to its tiny size and in the cold weather fingers are too numb to unlock

超预期的好

位置很好，就在湖边上，周边很多停车位，也可以停在院子里，过夜需要10元。设施很齐全，公共厨房啥都有，可以做饭。餐厅有壁炉很暖和。活动区有桌上足球，小盆友可以玩的很开心。房间里电暖器，淋雨房干湿分离。房间厨房有微波炉冰箱

没有，非常好

Best possible location for a stay in Wanaka

Everything. Just a perfekt place to stay in Wānaka. 4 bed dorm room are very spacious, clean and organised. Also the best possible location especially to watch the sun set over the mountains

Just that the day I was there was picture day, where they took pictures and filmed everything. Just made it a bit more difficult to move around but nothing one can’t handle

Super chill in Wanaka

Located near the beach and main town areas, but on a quiet street. Large laundry room ($) and well organized and equipped kitchen. Super comfortable beds. We were upgraded to a family suite so had plenty of floor space for two of us to do yoga.

The property was being totally renovated and we knew that before we arrived, but clearly our unit was not 100% ready - no mirrors, no hooks in the bathroom….And no access to an inside place to eat, other than at a kitchen counter or on your lap in your room. But that was just part of the reno work.

Super point de chute pour se poser à Wanaka.

Situation idéale pour la vue, la proximité de l'arrêt de bus et des commerces. Le dortoir est un petit module avec sa salle de bains et sa mini-cuisine basique avec évier, bouilloire, quelques couverts et frigo. Les lits sont confortables avec des rideaux pour l'intimité. La cuisine commune est vaste et bien équipée. Le personnel est très sympathique et accueillant, le fait que les travaux risquent de provoquer des nuisances est expliqué dès la réservation. Petit espace extérieur agréable par beau temps, pas de bruit malgré les travaux...

... mais pas de salon commun pour le moment à cause des travaux.

Despite large renovations, it was a pleasant stay for a night.

It was very satisfactory considering that the two other places I have booked into in the past were booked out.

In the circumstances it couldn't be improved.

Mar 2024

It felt good to be there again! 🙂

Location: near perfect - two minutes walking to the Lake, yet away from the crowded centre.

Hostel is being refurbished at the moment, so you will have to improvise a bit here and there. (Of course, that is only temporary!)

IOtherwise loved being there,I would recommend to friends & family members to stay

Clean & tidy

Mar 2024

Still a great, cheap and convenient option for travellers to stay

The location and the staff are superb. The view from kitchen supposed to be really good; however, it is under construction during the time we stayed.

It is under construction during the time we stayed, so I just mention the situation we met. There is a smell (like painting or construction) in the room, but you can open the window.

Perfecta ubicació davant del llac!

Quan vam arribar a l’allotjament ens havien assignat habitacions diferents a les que havíem reservat i pagat. Va haver-hi un malentès amb la comunicació. El noi de recepció va intentar trobar la millor solució possible i al final ens va donar un upgrade. La situació és molt bona, davant del llac. Molt tranquil.

Res. El malentès a l’arribada va ser una mica estressant però al final tot es va solucionar.

Nice for a night, good location.

It was nice that the beds had curtains because we were able to have some privacy.

People weren't in their allocated beds which was bit annoying and there was no onsite parking due to renovations, but this was communicated ahead of time.

Expensive stay - but great location

Great location and accessibility - right near supermarkets and parking wasn't much of an issue as we thought it might be. Straight forward booking system. Beds were comfortable. Nice common area - could benefit from more outside seating overlooking the beautiful lake!

Expensive for what we booked! We had a twin room with ensuite - not too clean (eg hair in the shower). No access to wifi in our room - if we wanted internet we'd have to go to the common areas (which are not connected to the main building). No air conditioning or fan at all which was quite uncomfortable for us too. Just a few things that unfortunately made the stay less enjoyable - especially for the very high price we were paying. Would have been acceptable had it been a lower price.

Nice stay, comfortable mattress, great location.

Friendly staff. My room (4-bed dorm) had its own private bathroom and 4 big lockers that could fit my big suitcase and more. Free parking on the street and I was always able to find a spot.

I could hear people from the room next-door but I had earplugs so it wasn't too problematic.

Fantastique.

Trè propre incluant la cuisine commune. Lits confortables. Tranquille la nuit. Bien situé, devant un parc en face du lac. Tout près du supermarché. Endroit barré où entreposer les valises pour nous permettre de visiter en attendant le prochain départ. Personnel très sympathique.

Tout était bien.

Way overpriced for what I received!!!

Perfect location!

I had a private room and the sheets were not clean. The pillows smelled like body oils. The room and hallways are well overdue for a paint job. Staff were extremely nice and the community areas were fine.

Great place to stay

Location was great and lots of sitting area in the lounge. Great view from the lounge. Outdoor bbq available. We arrived late and keys were waiting for us at reception.

A little dated and slightly weak wifi from the room. Felt a little overpriced or less value compared to the other YHAs we stayed at in NZ, but I’d stay again.
