to get started.

Lovely situation, and excellent facilities. The double rooms with en suite bathrooms were delightful, comfortable quiet and clean, and the site seemed to offer all sorts of options catering for all budgets. The young lady on reception was smiley, helpful and efficient. All in all an excellent stay.

Catherine, United Kingdom

I stay there a lot so if I keep going back it must be good

Joshua, New Zealand

Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, we had our own small kitchen (had a private double room). The bathroom was clean and it the lake and center was only a few minutes away.

Katharina, Austria

Location was good. No bar near by meant quiet and we could sleep.

Sandra, New Zealand

The common rooms and kitchens were excellent. The rooms were clean enough. The property was at a great location.

Duskydusk, New Zealand

The Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom had two little windows which I found nice, so there was always fresh air. The hostel had plenty of parking space. The staff was very friendly.

Anna, Germany

Location is great, right at the lakefront and close to the main street. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean. Rooms were quite spacious. We loved the kitchen and the common room in particular. Kitchen is well equipped and the couches in the common room were very comfortable and best of all, the view of the lake from the common room was nothing but pleasant!

Joyce, Taiwan

Great location, kitchen, open space area with tables and benches outside

Mariusz, Poland

The staff is super nice and the location was great, just in front of the lake. I really recommend this hostel
