loved the beds, were comfortable, enough storage space to take a book, chargers etc to the bed with you. Enough places to lock your staff. Also had a good bedight. Had a four bed female dorm and we shared a private bathroom which was awesome. Kitchen facilities were really clean - even after the cooking rush - and had everything you need amazing common areas and view

the rooms were a bit of a tight squeeze - if one person was sorting through their luggage you would have to wait to be able to access your own. But that was a minor inconvenience

The lounge & dining areas had floor to ceiling windows (full length of the walls), looking out across Lake Wanaka to the Aspiring Mountain National Park (majestic, uninterrupted views)! The lounge was expansive & lined with chairs, lounges, bean bags, coffee tables amongst a cozy aesthetic gas fireplace. The dining area also expansive & again warmed by an aesthetic gas fireplace, tastefully done. The kitchen, large, well equipped & cleaned daily, never ran out of a vacant gas cooktop space even at the busiest of times. The large commercial fridges kept well chilled. The cabin was obviously recently refurbished; thermostatically controlled heating, sturdy bunk beds, stainless countertop, sink, microwave, kettle, toaster, glassware... & attended to daily. The location could not have been better! Half a block from the main grocery store & at the doorstep to the rest of the towns restaurants & shops. Two blocks walk to the pick up & drop off for the shuttle to Queenstown & Cardrona ski area.

The room was big enough and nobody was on top of each other Luggage storage space inside the room was quite big too and the most inportant thing for me was that the room was warm enough and did'nt feel like a fridge like most of the time here in NZ Comfortable bed and duvet

Just few small things that bothered me was luggage closets build on top of each other so if you have a heavy luggage and you happened to have the top closet lifting your things up might be annoying, it would be easier to have them side by side at the end of the beds They were some plates and cups in the room but not even one cutlery If you are planning to cook here you need to have your own spices starting from salt and cooking oils or hope someone left some behind...maybe I've been pampered before and everyone already carries them around😆

Great sized unit for 3 people with 2 bedrooms. We had a lot of ski gear so having a large communal space was great too. Also the very friendly cat was a bonus who is obviously used to many people letting it in and giving it cuddles. Awesome kitchen facility in the main building and can’t get a better location stepping out on to the grassy foreshore of the lake but also 5min walk from the food trucks.

Nothing I “didn’t” like, but the only very slight downside of the unit is the bathroom is tiny. A better use of their building plan would have been to prioritize bathroom over kitchenette. Kitchenette was basic with kettle, microwave and unnecessarily large sink, no fridge so besides making coffee not much use and since there is a great communal kitchen so having a private kitchenette becomes obsolete (kettles are great though)- better use that space for the bathroom. I already gave it 9/10, less crammed bathroom would make it 11/10!

Love the cleanliness and the ‘new’ feel to the facilities. The staff went above and beyond to remember my name and be super helpful. Location is amazing being central with a beautiful view of the lake. The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at and would 100% stay there again

The only small thing I’d mention (which is more a comment about other guests) is the table soccer game in the lounge room. Although this is a fun thing to have in the common area there were times at 10pm and 6am when I was wanting to sit on the couch and have a tea when there were people playing this game which is really loud and yelling.

Cleanest hostel I have ever stayed at Really big kitchen Nice lounge areas Lovely view from the dining and lounge area Room was warm and comfortable and bathrooms were clean

It was absolutely freezing cold in the dining and lounge areas. Not sure if the heating was broken but unless you were sat with a blanket, you couldn’t sit there for long It’s also sometimes hard to tell who is working and who isn’t because there are a lot of staff who all chat with eachother

Very nice designed shared rooms. Bunk beds with courtains that provides privacy in bed. One bathroom inside room for six people. very well equipped kitchen, spacious dining room and cool living room. In the city center close to all attractions.

Quite expensive for a single bed in shared room, for the same price we had entire room for ourselves in different places. A bit complicated check in procedure after hours. Took us a bit of time and effort to find someone who could help us. Parking with very limited space.

Plenty of storage in rooms, amazing common areas and kitchen— was a real pleasure to spend time outside the room. The location was phenomenal, right in the centre of town. The staff were always super happy to help and just fun to chat to, and it really felt like you could make friends with anyone there.

The water pressure in the shower was fairly dismal— had to have longer showers to feel like it was doing anything. The sound proofing of the bathrooms was also not great, you could hear the room next door through the bathroom.

As this was our first time ever to stay at a backpackers hostel. We were pleasantly surprised how friendly and helpful people were. The room was comfortable with a large wet room the kitchen area was clean with everything you need. Even after we checked out we put our bags in a locked room and told we could use the common rooms as long as we needed before our bus. Close to all town amenities. If this what others are like, we definitely would use again and suggest others give it a go.

Location is perfect, kitchen was large enough to facilitate any one who wanted to cook and had all the necessary tools to make a delicious meal. Room was clean and shower pressure was excellent.

Bathroom was a bit small and the bunk bed mattress is a little worn. Room also needed additional lighting; most notable in the mornings when trying to get ready and in the evenings when trying to pack. Heating in the room could also be stronger.
