The room we stayed in was pretty clean, although there were some space constraint and we spotted a few flies in the room which is still acceptable. We booked one with the lake view and it was beautiful in the morning. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Haka house.

Great location and updated hostel. Unfortunately the quiet hours are not enforced well on each night we stayed and had limited sleep. Staff were made aware after the first night and stated they had a large group of school students with a supervisor present however the second night same occurrence happened. Otherwise nice stay

Room was clean and cozy. The shower was a bit too small to use comfortably. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is right on the lake and there is a lounge and dining hall that offer stunning views. Would recommend visiting the Dark Sky Project which is directly next door.

一部の宿泊客がキッチンを雑に使っていたがスタッフによって毎日清掃されとても快適でした。バックパッカーでは安いし仕方ないよねといつもは諦めることでしたが、ここでは不快になることがありませんでした。 眺めも良く、キッチンからすぐに外に出れ、目の前のテカポ湖で朝日や夕陽を見れるのはとても素晴らしい経験でした。 スーパーやカフェに歩いてすぐに行ける立地でこの値段で泊まれたのは満足です。
