great and convient guest house. Close to the center and the lake. room and shower are clean. the common area is cozy and quiet with great heater and sofa. there is also place to sit out side if its a nice day
Great price, great location.
Kitchen is not as clean as when this property was a YHA. It has lost some of its friendly vibe since then.
When the other places cost twice as much, stay here.
Great check-in with very enthusiastic staff. Our room was fine, a little dated as you might expect in this type of property but clean and comfortable. There was a problem with drains on the first day, but this was quickly resolved - presumably a result of the property only recently reopening. The communal facilities were good with a great kitchen to use. The property is close to the centre of Te Anau where there are a number of good dining options if you want to eat out, and also a good supermarket.
The location is awesome. Bar and restaurant is very close. There is a quiet and beautiful park is right next hostel.
The atmosphere in hostel is very warm.
It’s worth to live it.
