Really loved my short but sweet stay there. The location was the best, facilities and staff were just awesome - I will definitely return for longer stay.

- As a tourist we were ripped off, as the price of the room was 3 times what the room, was worth. Yes, I made the booking and knew the price but when you are shown a photo of a relatively new building with beautiful views out over Lake Tekapo, you picture a twin room with ensuite @ NZ$671 per night as a pretty special room. It was the exact opposite. A tiny tiny room with a mini ensuite and no view, no bathmat, no face cloth , not a shelf in the bathroom or any place whatsoever to put a suitcase. 4 nice coat hangars and the room was very clean. A sign on the window said keep the window shut at night time to keep the insects out.....but no ventilation /air conditioning. As a Kiwi, I was embarassed that the Haka House group were ripping off tourists.

Was on the costlier side of hostels i’ve stayed at and options are limited in Tekapo but it was really lovely! The room was pretty cozy and clean and the common/kitchen areas have an incredible view of the lake. It’s basically on the doorstep and everything you need is walking distance!

+ I’ve been here a few times and you can’t beat the location the views and the building, so modern and beautiful .

- Staff could be more friendly but I guess they meet a lot of people
