Hostels in Makarora

"Clean tidy rooms and amenities. "

"Beautiful house overlooking the lake from the kitchen window! We loved our stay here - being able to walk to the lake was magic. "

"We loved our stay and our time in Makarora. It was spacious, with good kitchen facilities, BBQ, and comfy bed, lovely outdoor deck, aircon and fire box to choose from. Lots of Kiwi cottage charm. Birdlife and song incredible, hence the apt name! Close to some lovely walks too. Top spot for exploring the Haast Pass corridor, Lake Hawea and to escape the crowds of Wanaka but not too far away for a day trip. The cafe next door was closed for winter, but the cafe up the road was fantastic. 24hr petrol available in Makarora was reassuring."

"Check in was good, details and directions given for our Lodge.All amenities available. Walked down to the Cafe/ bar and enjoyed a glass of wine in front of the log fire. Checked following at 9:45pm, filled the car from their onsite petrol station. All good."

"Great location! Cafe, supermarket and tavern in walking distance and handy to so many wonderful sights and activities. The house was lovely and warm and suited our large group perfectly. And that view!!"

"Not truly lakefront but a very short walk. Comfortable and cosy, everything worked, nice touches (tea station, fresh flowers) and the area is STUNNING"

"Extremely welcoming. Amazing place with a lot of history and a stunning location."

"A beautifully-appointed flat with an extremely comfortable living room, bedroom and kitchen. The doors open to a deck and a lovely garden, with mountains in the background. "

"We enjoyed our 5 day stay in this cute, cozy bach! We had everything we needed for cooking, the bedding was very comfortable and we all slept well here. Beautiful scenery can be viewed right outside every window. The hosts were responsive, although we had no issues come up. We even had a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on arrival. The lavender and honeysuckle bushes lining the entrance were an added fragrant treat. "
