We had a self contained unit with bathroom and kitchenette. It was clean, had everything we needed, was close to everything, and everyone was really friendly. The bathroom was tiny and the decor was a little tired but it was clean and the beds were really comfortable. In short, it is fantastic, value for money accommodation

We know that this is a hostel but at least there should be a time for other guests to minimize noises. We stayed at an ensuite private room no. 3, next room no. 4 who were so noisy, at 11:45pm I couldn't help myself but knocked on their wall to signal that they were so noisy. Even just a notice on each room's wall no minimize the noise from 11pm, other guests need to rest and sleep. Thanks.

Stayed in a 3-bed dorm. Room had an ensuite. Was clean and customer service at the front desk was friendly. Good location, only a few minutes away from the lakefront. Fair number of free parking spots at the property and surrounding area.

Good budget accomodation
We stayed for 3 nights (not in a row) in the ensuite unit . We were looking for budget accomodations at Wanaka. Unit was pretty small and basic, but sufficient for a couple. It had good shower. Communal kitchen was clean and managed. However, in the last stay sheets were not clean. Noise could be heard from the corridor if that might an issue. Overall we had a nice stay, and would recommend it as budget accomodation.
