Hostels in Birchwood

"Very quiet location. Available pantry items were generous. Helpful host. Comfortable bed."

"We stayed in the tiny house which was a good choice as the weather was cool and wet - it took a bit of work to get the woodstove going for us to get warm (and you need to take care once it's hot) - it did make downstairs comfortable to be in but the sleeping area very stuffy. There is an electric heater also but we didn't use that. We had been made aware that there was no stovetop in the house - the fridge is now in that space - so we had planned appropriately. An electric hotplate would suffice though. We also knew that there was no toilet inside the house, the portaloo close by was the fanciest I have experienced, with flush and hand sanitiser. The showers were a walk away which was less convenient. A nice view out of the window, although lots of people do walk by and check out the house. A range of water birds in the lake and the occasional rabbit on the lawn. An allocated parking space is a few steps from the door of the house."

"Very well presented. Small but had every amenity including a washer and dryer combo. Management very helpful."

"Nicer than expected. The views are incredible. Everything we needed and more. "

"Good breakfast"

"The living room is nice, but a little bit cold, the heater is not close to the cough, it needs time to warm up the room. Master bedroom has no heater and is small, the queen size bed occupied the whole room, no space for bag luggage and walk around. The bathroom is old style. "

"Beautiful house, in an amazing spot wiht beautiful views of the mountain. Its a very special place i wish i was there for longer ! The lake ohau is stunning.The host were very accomodating and great communication "

"Small basic and clean accommodation for a short stay. Would recommend but not directly on the lake as shown in property listing…can get a glimpse from outdoor deck but access to a beautiful walking path just a few steps away."

"Fantastic in all respects "
