Upscale hostel with available en suite rooms right on the Lake with its stunning views. Excellent, if busy, communal kitchen for those who wish to cook. Our en suite room had a Lake View and small fridge. The location is perfect. Mostly young backpacker crowd our room was quiet and comfortable.

Private room in a hostel horribly over-priced. The room was boiling on a 20-degree day in March. When we walked in there were bugs all over the ceiling because the open window had no screen, to be fair, don’t think many hotels have them in NZ. A fan was provided but it was useless, so sleeping wasn’t easy. Room was fine, very small, otherwise clean. Not our couple of tea but it was in an awesome location, great views of the lake and close to everything this fab town offers.

The most expensive night in my South Island trip ($370) including nights at the Hilton. No TV, very small room, you are requested to strip your own linen off the beds.This is a hostel, not a hotel, although Expedia the positions it as a hotel.

Parking is in a gravel shared parking lot. You have to drag your luggage across rocks to the entrance. Staff is good but not very friendly. Very close to iconic church. And the lake is right outside your window. Location location location!!!

Room was very small. Had a decent size bathroom with a very small shower. No TV (they did give a discount after we complained.) Had to get the staff to sign into wifi because it didn't work. They eventually signed us into the staff wifi. Very expensive for what you get and not worth it.

The view is worth the drive alone. For a hostel it is better than most but quiet noisy and hard to sleep.
