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.

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.

立地がよく快適なホステル

バスの発着場所、テ・アナウ湖からとても近く、観光には大変便利なところにあります。チェックイン、チェックアウトもスムーズで、バスの出発まで荷物を預かっていただけました。建物は古いですが、よくメンテされていると感じました。キッチンも広く清潔でした。シングルルームに泊まりましたが、静かで、よく眠れました。ただ1点だけ、枕カバーがあると良かったです。それ以外は完璧です。
