Friendly staff, quiet lakefront location just a short walk or drive from town, and a nice comfortable en-suite room. Lovely 2-night stay while we went to visit Milford Sound!

Great, quiet lakefront location. Comfortable bed and nice modern bathroom. Friendly staff.

Great location, great facilities, comfy bed and very clean room.

Amazing staff, view and rooms were tidy nice and modern

The staff were amazing and very accomodating. One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in. Incredible view and huge kitchen

Really liked the spacious rooms. Kitchen and lounge were great.

Although tired and dated, it was very clean and good linen and towels provided. Full kitchen (dated) and large bathroom. We stayed 2 nites in studio room at rear of property. Sunny porch for afternoon bevvy. Quiet.plenty of parking right next to our unit.

We were lucky enough to get an upgrade from shared bathroom to an ensuite. 🙂 Bed was super comfy - room was awesome and the facilities simply amazing. Sadly, due to the inclement weather we weren’t able to try out one of the outdoor bbq areas - but thy look great. Staff were friendly, and allowed us to store our motorbike gear the day we left while we were on a trip to the Glow worm Caves (must do trip by the way)until we returned. This is super service - Thanks The kitchen are a is huge, warm and well stocked with pots, pans etc. Happy to return & recommend to others

Wonderful location right on the lake front. Very quick walk to the Main street. Very newly renovated en-suite and comfortably decorated room. Was always space in the kitchen to cook and nice to be able to sit outside to eat!

The location is fantastic - 5mins walk to town in one direction and 5mins to the DOC offices in the other. The rooms are comfy, clean and well maintained. Our room had a shared kitchen and bathroom area, both of which were great. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. You can also store bags if you're doing a multi day hike and don't want to carry everything with you.
