Stay In Tekapo Backpackers

The breathtaking views, spaciois room and plenty of amenities

The inn is showing signs of oldness.

hostel was clean, rooms were tidy and quite big

facilities have seen better days, bathrooms and especially the kitchen could use an upgrade - everything was working though!

We stayed in Tekapo Backpackers for two nights. Overall we are happy with the stay and the facilities. It's good for a short stay and it has excellent location.

You have to pay 5$ extra to use a towel. The only window in the room was on the ceiling and is not accessible to be opened.

Great location, even though it says shared bathroom it was a private bathroom which everyone shared which was a lovely surprise. Good wifi.

Other guests were loud which made sleeping hard, beds were slightly hard.

Great central location. Staff were lovely when I interacted with them. Ok price?

All the bathrooms are combined toilet and shower, and there’s only like 4 of them for multiple dorm rooms. So if 4 people are showering then you have to wait to use a toilet. Kitchen was way too small and most of the burners didn’t work. People didn’t understand to dry their dishes so there was always a pile of wet dishes and not enough pans, utensils, etc. One of my roommates was smoking outside the window/on the walkway which would blow in, despite signs saying strictly no smoking. Not ideal, as an asthmatic. I think having more staff presence (the office was across the driveway) would help with bad guest behavior.

Great location

We were grateful we were given a dorm room to ourselves. Not many people were in the kitchen. Separate bathroom for woman and each bathroom with toilet was nice. The reception was nice and friendly with smooth guidance. Great location.

Only thing would be price.

Spacious room
