Hostel Tahuna Pod Hostel

11 Henry Street, 9300 Queenstown, New Zealand – Excellent location – show map

Great place to stay. Always clean and friendly staff. Also, right in town! We stayed in a 4 bed room which was a little tight but not an issue if you’re out all day. Definitely a great place to stay!

Comfortable large beds Good kitchen Nice social area Lights and chargers in bed area Curtains on the pods

Location was super ideal ! Right next to the center but quiet at night time. Room was full but the beds were so private and everyone was super nice.

Bryn

New Zealand

I loved everything about it, but maybe showing us around before our move in time wasn't the best idea as we saw alot of the mess from the previous occupants there, it gave us a negative first impression of the accommodation but after we checked in hours later it was clean and very accommodating.

The staff are very friendly and it's great to have the double bed option.

Super central location in Qtown, the rooms were warm and comfy. The parking (available on a first-come-basis) was an added perk. The staff were super friendly and made the whole atmosphere seem like a big family. Thanks for a wonderful stay :)

Nice location, kind and helpful staff, very warm and clean hostel!

Karin

The pods were great - much more privacy than other hostels in the area. The mattresses were very soft and comfy - we fell straight asleep! The kitchen was clean and had ample facilities. We especially liked the deck area and all the games and DVDs on offer in the common area. I've stayed at Nomads, Base, YHA and other larger backpackers in the area. This had a more homely feel, quieter rooms and very accommodating staff.

Is it an issue parking a JUCY camper on the street while we stay with you for a week? I'm worried about fines if someone thinks we're freedom camping?

We have a private parking area around the back of the hostel, but our spaces are limited so they are allocated on a first come first serve basis. To prevent fines I would suggest arriving at the hostel as early as possible to grab one of these spaces
