Great location and lovely views of lake and mountains
Nice place to stay comfy beds all necessary amenities available clean and tidy all in all would recommend. Side not $10 to park in front carpark otherwise free parking on street
Very basic, but perfect for what we needed. Soap and shampoo were provided, and each bunk had its own reading light and charging port, which was very convenient. A personal locker was also provided, along with additional storage space underneath the bed. Strip your bed and duvet before you leave and leave it in the laundry basket by the reception. Shared kitchen and spaces were clean. Great location and the price is good.
We didn't realize it was a hostel until we got there. It was a good stay though. Easy access to restaurants and shops in the downtown Wanaka. Our room was good for the one night we were there. It would have been a bit small for us if we were staying longer. There was also a place we could leave some of our extra groceries for other travellers. The staff was really friendly. Off street parking was an extra $10 night.
Was in 6 bunk ensuite cabin and it was amazingly clean and spacious. Beds were comfy too. Friendly staff. Lounge and kitchen area were very warm and cosy. 5 minute walk to town area and waterfront so reasonable location.
It was great! Though I would only stay a night and ended up staying two nights, great town and great place to stay, very walkable location, friendly people, and lots of spaces to relax within the hostel.
Beautiful and modern facility with a view of the lake and right next to downtown. Very modern, clean, and comfortable room with bath. Very friendly staff too. Highly recommend this great place
