Wonderful upscale Hostel/Hotel.
We had a private room with a bathroom. Tje bes was extremely comfortable. We lived being able to cook dinner and breakfast in the large and well stocked communal kitchen. I highly recommend staying here.

Basic but comfortable
Nice and clean room, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had the king bed room with private ensuite which was very basic, but comfortable enough for our one night stay.

Eric’s one night stay in Wanaka
This place made me think I was in rehab. Its very institutional and devoid of any kind of decorative flare to make you feel welcome. The room had nothing except a bed, a useless dresser, and a bare lightbulb over your head. The bathroom and sink were tiny. I don’t mind bare bones hostels but this was not worth the money they are charging. 6/10

We stayed here (4 adults) for a night and had a quad room. Quite happy to have multiple options for dining just around the corner. This property does not have it's own parking but can park on any of the surrounding streets (free parking). Walkable distance to the lake and a supermarket right beside the property. Overall was a lovely stay. Will highly recommend.

Value for money. This was a couple room with private bathroom. Very basic things very there like soap, towels and shampoo. They have separate kitchen for everyone if any one need utensils or cooking related amenities . Kitchen is all the way down and a bit confusing location. The don’t have parking

No frills room
A completely average stay. The room was as basic as it gets. Ok if you want to be in and out overnight but do not expect any frills.

Maybe not for summer
The hostel is at a very convenient location. Grocery store NW next door. Although the room is too small to eat at, but you can always grab something from the grocery store and eat by the lake. My stay was not too bad overall. However I was unlucky the day I arrived happened to be one of these hot days. The room looks exactly like the photo, what you see is what you get. There is a bed in the room and some cabinet on the side, no nightstand or anything else. So the temperature was high, I opened the window, then the problem is due to the convenient location, it was quite noisy outside, even at night. So I try to close the window. Then it was too hot. And I opened the window again, then I hear people laughing, talking, drinking, etc. I ended up didn’t sleep well that night. Like I said, I was unlucky and happened to be there in one of these hot days…so if you are traveling in summer, this is something to consider.

We felt it was overpriced for what it was. We have stayed at many places over the past week in many holiday distinations and the had better facilities for less

Minimal, functional space. Spare character but decent for one night. Besides, Wanaka is gorgeous so you won’t be inside much!
