The hostel is very near the lake and supermarket. Stunning view.

Excellent hostel with great and clean facilities and fantastic views from common areas.

So I wasn’t expecting much of this place— it’s a hostel. My husband and I typically stay in somewhat fancier spots, but we booked late and didn’t have many options. But we loved it! We had a private room, and although it wasn’t exactly luxuriously decorated, it was clean and comfortable. We had all we needed. I especially appreciated their easy process for late check-ins. If you arrive after the front desk is closed, they give you a key code to open the front doors, and your room key is waiting for you on the front desk. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Amazing view, too: literally right on Lake Tekapo. :)
