Guest Reviews

• Linda (9/5): A great place to stay in Lake Tekapo - The hostel was in a lovely quiet location set in amongst trees. It had a good relaxed feeling straight away. My room was so cosy and already heated for me which is so good coming in from the cold. Well equipped kitchen and laundry if needed. I was very happy. Thank you Other guests don't seem to realise that rooms are close and talking and laughing outside your door late at night is not really appreciated. In saying that I am well aware this is the nature of some hostels so I don't let it bother me too much.
• Shibata (10/5): -
• Marizaan (10/5): -
• Daeun (10/5): good - cheap and comfortable
• Navdeep (7/5): -
• trung (7/5): Good -
• Andrew (7/5): Great place to stay - Location was great Beds a bit too soft
• sanjaya (9/5): Perfect stay - Silent place , location wise easy access for every view points , good place
• Jasper (8/5): - Area and how close it is to town. Walls are pretty thin. You can hear people from next door talking or using the bathroom.
• Simona (4/5): - Blízko jazera V izbe, chodbe aj kúpeľni bola veľká zima, veľmi staré ubytovanie.
• David (9/5): -
• ChiaJung (9/5): -
• gurwinder (10/5): -
• Cécile (8/5): - Very quaint, nice garden, lovely & super helpful staff, great location. Fun to see the chickens (but no more bunnies or sheep !). Very poor noise insulation (could hear the neighbours snoring), dated bathroom
• Wai King (8/5): -
• Mohamed Farhath (1/5): -
• Jessica (5/5): -
• Nobuko (10/5): -
• Jiao (8/5): -
• JUNKO (6/5): - テカポ湖に近い キッチンの食器拭きと台拭きが分かれていると良い。もしくはキッチンペーパーがあると良いかも
• yuening (9/5): - 住宿位置不错，共享厨房和空间赞，院子温馨，车子可以停在前院或者外面的路边。 洗手台很小
• Sachin (10/5): Positive energy stay - This place has a soul of it’s own, very rare nowadays with all these hotel chains and mechanical Airbnbs. Rooms are decent and functional, however the common areas like kitchen , lounge and garden and perfect and will make you feel good. Definitely a very positive energy in the place and you can read the stories of the owner. The garden, view and animals were perfect addition. Rooms are a bit small
• David (8/5): - Very helpful staff. Beautiful old building with plenty of space to relax and cook. It was noisy at night as people settled in due to the thin walls and creaky timber floor.
• WEICHIA (10/5): 這趟旅程 我覺得青年旅館算是最棒的 - 乾淨舒適設備齊全 隔音效果稍不足，我還好，但我先生有被其它房間的小孩吵醒
• Hong (6/5): - Too cold
• Madelaine (8/5): - The guinea pigs were cute! The bathroom smelled of damp quite heavily when we arrived.
• GONGXIN (10/5): So dreamy - I felt like I was living in a fairy tale. The property is huge, with several little cottages and herb/veggie gardens, surrounded by beautiful autumn colors—yellow, red, green, and blooming flowers. There are guinea pigs and even big roosters, which adds so much charm. Multiple hidden paths lead into the property, making it feel like a secret retreat ;) There’s direct access to a tennis court (also suitable for basketball and soccer), and I even discovered a hidden walking path (with apples) that takes you to Lake Tekapo in just 5 minutes. It’s perfect for a peaceful morning coffee walk—you’ll see rabbits, ducks, and mushrooms, but hardly any people! I’d love to come back to see it in every season :) 1. It would be helpful if the map (with a key) included room numbers to make it easier to find your room—although we did enjoy wandering around the yard while looking for ours. 2. The bed is comfortable, but a bit narrow, so just be careful when turning over.
• Ilenia (6/5): - Location ottima Purtroppo i bagni in comune erano molto sporchi. Questo immagino sia causato da alcuni ospiti che non hanno idea di cosa significhi rispettare gli altri ma soprattutto il lavoro degli altri.
• Ohsugi (6/5): -
• Woo Chul (9/5): - good location that is walkable to town, cozy and clean rooms, cleanest shared shower I have ever seen in my life
• Dana (7/5): -
• Aubrey (9/5): Lake Tekapo is great - Great concept for holiday accommodation with excellent facilities Nothing to mention
• SHUOLING (10/5): - 環境舒適溫暖 房間隔音稍差
• KEIKO (5/5): 価格相当のお部屋 - ・場所はとても湖に近く、深夜の星空観測でも徒歩で参加できる距離でした ・キッチンにはいろいろ揃っているので お湯沸かしたり、レンジで温めたりできるのが良かった ・共有のトイレやシャワー室が水やペーパーで汚るている事がありました （宿泊客のマナーが悪い） ・部屋にも洗面所にもペーパーがないので トイレのペーパーを部屋に持ち込んでいるのか？廊下にトイレペーパーのカケラが散乱していました ・スタッフがいつも不在。必要な時はメールか電話しなければならないのが不便でした
• Ayano (10/5): - 一人旅で4泊しました。隅々まできれいで、スタッフさんたちがとても親切。5月の宿泊で外気温は冷え込みましたが、お部屋もシャワーもとても暖かかったです。共有キッチンやお手洗いなども、みなさんとてもきれいに使っていて気持ちよく過ごせました。 スーパーも徒歩10分くらい。 暖炉のあるリビング、木々の美しい庭など、施設内も十分楽しめました。人懐っこいニワトリたちも歩き回っていて、カントリーサイドのコテージにお邪魔したような雰囲気！

• LIPING (9/5): 温馨有活力 - 有个大厨房，漂亮的客厅很温馨。步行到湖边，很方便。员工很热心，小动物很可爱。 我们四个人一个房，却只有三个床头柜
• Gillian (9/5): - Great little place to stay. Everything we needed and expected The social area was cold, would have been nice if fire was going and there was nothing to light the fire with. Also self check in, so never saw any staff to ask for advice and help with the fire.
• Yan (8/5): -
• Alistair (8/5): - Good kitchen and lounge facilities
• ulrich (5/5): - Gute Erreichbarkeit Niemand zu erreichen, keine Rezeption, unhygienischer Boden
• Megzypyne (7/5): - Warm and good location For a kiwi traveling with kids it wasn't overly suitable as loud people in near by rooms all night. However, it had a lovely vibe and was clean and homely. Recommended for travelers and young people.
• Fedelita (6/5): -
• Alessandro (8/5): Nice place... - Easy and clean. Nice little room, we found it warm and cosy because someone had turned the heating on for us :-) Nothing in particular.
• Panorjit (8/5): -
• xiaoxia (8/5): -
• Shih-Hsiu (7/5): - 公共空間跟用餐區很溫馨，廚房很大。很多人一起煮晚餐、順便聊天。氣氛很好。 不夠乾淨，走道會有雞糞。老舊，一間淋浴間門鎖壞了，反應後一天是壞的。
• Sandra (9/5): - Very comfortable and well equipped. Good location.
• ST-AMOUR (7/5): Ok for an overnighter and students - Beds were comfy, relatively quiet Very small room, shared bathroom
• Tara (7/5): Great location, quiet and family friendly - So close to town, so great walking distance everywhere. Nice quiet location too so wasn’t disturbed by road noise. Very friendly chickens hanging around and some cute Guinea pigs! Shower pressure wasn’t great, and the bathrooms were cold in general. Timber built so could hear the noise of others opening doors but that’s minor!
• Josef Thomas (10/5): -
• Meg.. (7/5): Great base to explore Lake Tekapo - Very convenient location to Lake Tekapo, short walk to town. Parking on site. Clean large shared kitchen and lounge area. Comfortable bed. Good value for money. Other guests quite loud throughout the night and in the early morning (5am onwards)
• TONGGU (10/5): - Location, cleanliness
• Amalin (10/5): Looking forward to visiting again:) very easy to find very good location - Chicken are nice and friendly very cute The heater sound is a bit noisy and loud from another room
• WanLing (9/5): -
• Adrian (6/5): -
• Peter (5/5): Basic, Cheap, cheerful, one step up from a hostel. - Good location, good free parking available The room walls were very thin you rely on other guests been quiet.
• Robert Neil (10/5): Our stay was very good. I had a good rest and enjoyable walk in the town center. - It's clean and tidy. Quiet during the night and near the town center.
• Edward (8/5): Clean Kitchen - The kitchen is clean, the handwash was good No ironing facilities as provided by other hostels
• Dave (10/5): -
• Xiaolin (8/5): Nice and good vale for money - Quite clean Need to take baggages down a few steps from car park; Range hood not strong enough
• Jenny Legaspi (8/5): - The location is near the community hall and a few minutes walk to Lake Tekapo. None
• Panumas (8/5): - Close to Lake Tekapo
• Philipp (9/5): -
• jaehong (10/5): - 주방이 넓고 사용하기 좋음 주차
• Lynley (9/5): -
• Larry (10/5): - Very close to the lake, and everything you need.
• Michael (8/5): - Smooth self-checkin process with clear instructions left by staff. King bed with private bathroom a lot cheaper than other options in Lake Tekapo. Only a few minutes walk to the village centre.
• Shaila (10/5): - Nice stay. User friendly check-in process. Great location
• Sarah (10/5): - Kids loved the guinea pigs
• Andrew (9/5): Good family friendly option - Very close to the centre of town and was for a last minute booking the best overall available option. Shared facilities were fine and actually were always very clean. They also had a selection of sports equipment which you can use which was fun to do with the kids. We had 6 beds in our room and they were all comfy and the room was warm and had a nice view of the chickens. No staff to check you in. But really nothing to get too worked up about as they did leave a key out for us on the counter. Parking was a little limited in the actual property but to be fair there was ample on street parking so it wasnt really too much bother.
• Lisa (10/5): Einfach und angenehm - Süße Zimmer
• Margit (8/5): -
• Rosemary (10/5): - Quiet, country feel. Very comfortable and clean. And chickens and guinea pigs for the kids. Nothing.
• Pauline (8/5): -
• xun (6/5): 中国春节期间入住，还不错。 - 厨房和餐厅不错 卧室设施

• Grace (9/5): - Facilities are clean and tidy. Nil
• Marie (9/5): -
• Stein (8/5): -
• RockStrongo (7/5): Standard - Es war alles da was man brauchte. Ausstattung war Standard. Es war alles sauber. Ich habe keinerlei persönlichen Kontakt zum Personal gehabt. Alles sehr anonym. Das bin ich anders in Neuseeland gewohnt.
• Karen (4/5): Was not value for money for a family of 5 2 adults 3 children 342 dollar's is a complete rip-off - We were really disappointed as the photos for the place are obviously out dated as everything was run down and there wasn't any animals to pet, which was the main selling point of us booking. Advertised petting animals and there was none
• IvanF89 (9/5): - Easy to check in and out, close enough to the main part of town that you can walk. Comfortable accommodation and bonus that we could use the tennis rackets and balls on site to play tennis!
• Anton (9/5): Very cute property! - Good size rooms and clean facilities. Kitchen a decent size. Living room/relaxing area very cute. Property was beautiful and great access to tennis court/basketball.
• Kristoffer (10/5): Brilliant - What a great set up, kids enjoyed the animals and we all had a great sleep. Kitchen was well setup and hot water for coffee was always ready to go. Great place.
• Jane (9/5): -
• James (10/5): Awesome, comfortable and relaxing - This was the 3rd time I have stayed here and 1st time in the 2nd building. The room had good amount of space in it. The bed was a good sized double and comfortably to sleep in. Along it was heated on arrival. It was clean and well kept and everything looked new. Good location with about 5 minute walk to the centre of Lake Tekapo. The area was quite and very little car noise etc. I did not use the lounge and dinning area but it look spacious and there was a log burning heater. Will use it again when back in the area. Nothing comes to mind.
• Anne Rose (9/5): Lovely and homey ambiance! Will go back.. daghang salamat, Tailor made! - The place is superb! Very accessible. Sports equipments were provided. Had a lovely bonding tennis moments for father and son. Staff are friendly. Feels like you're in a farm, lovely atmosphere. I stepped on a chicken poop! 😆 iti!! 😆 When opening, the doors have squeky sound, if i may suggest, drop some oil in the door hinges to loosen the surface.
• Leema (8/5): -
• Anna (9/5): Cozy and comfortable - The place was well looked after and clean. It felt comfortable and even though it’s a hostel, you could tell that it was looked after with care. I liked nice touches like arriving to find our room with the heater already on so it was nice and cozy. The room was simple but had really good storage space and was lovely bed sheets. The WiFi we found quite slow so we couldn’t watch a movie online.
• Nina (8/5): - The location was good and kitchen facilities were clean. The heater in the bedroom kept the room warm.
• Yuta (9/5): - 湖へのアクセスが良い シャワーのお湯が冷たく、水圧が弱い
