It was clean and overall great for backpackers/a hostel experience. It had a nice large kitchen area as well as a living room, garden and yard. The bed was average.

A clean hostel close to the intercity bus stop. Comfortable enough.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The code they provided for the front door didn’t work so coming in and out of the hostel after hours was stressful. The kitchen area was quite dirty. Otherwise my room and the shared restrooms were clean.
Verified review

6/10 Good

I had a 2-person bedroom. No separate lights on the beds, only one light on the ceiling. No curtains on the bed for privacy. I only stayed one night but from what I saw: the kitchen is obviously not cleaned every day. The bin was overfull. The tables were full of stains from food residues. The place is good for its location and economical fares. But don't look for any luxury.

great and convient guest house. Close to the center and the lake. room and shower are clean. the common area is cozy and quiet with great heater and sofa. there is also place to sit out side if its a nice day
Verified review

6/10 Good

The front desk guy was cheerful, helpful and awesome. The main disappointment is the lack of sorting and effort put into recycling. As a tourist, I am trying to minimize my footprint and a hostel is in the position to be setting an example of that.

Very well stocked communal kitchen. A special thanks to Hamish and Erin for taking care of our special request and hand drawing a picture.

Good value

Great price, great location. Kitchen is not as clean as when this property was a YHA. It has lost some of its friendly vibe since then. When the other places cost twice as much, stay here.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great check-in with very enthusiastic staff. Our room was fine, a little dated as you might expect in this type of property but clean and comfortable. There was a problem with drains on the first day, but this was quickly resolved - presumably a result of the property only recently reopening. The communal facilities were good with a great kitchen to use. The property is close to the centre of Te Anau where there are a number of good dining options if you want to eat out, and also a good supermarket.
