Hostel itself is very clean, excellent staff, workable kitchen, etc. The only down side is that it’s a short drive or a long walk to most trailheads & of course any other loud/inconsiderate guests. The place is great though!

Really liked the property - easy to park, great access to Mt. Cook and everything is beautiful around this area! Staff was great, but the one downside (that didn't effect me) is if you arrive after the staff leave, you will have difficulties getting in if you failed to contact the property before getting there. They are nice enough to leave all the keys where you can still get into your room, but it requires that you know the code to the door, which you would not know if you do not check in with the property before arriving. While the bed was mostly comfortable, it was not quiet until well after when I wanted to sleep and unlike most hostels, people were not very aware/kind of others need for sleep. This is the second Haka House I've stayed in, and none of them provide towels, which makes me very unlikely to ever go back to one - who doesn't need to shower? And what traveler is bringing a towel with them??? Also the rooms were quite hot until well after 2AM, even when it was only 50F outside. Not an excellent hostel, but the location was superb!

Newer and larger building compared to the Queenstown location we stayed at! Really comfy mattresses and the rooms had a mini fridge and plenty of hooks and hangers. The kitchen was very large and the hostel was very clean. Walls are a bit then but no issues with ear plugs!

Overall stay was acceptable. It was easy to get there, lots of available parking space and cooking facilities were adequate. However, there was no hot water for showering on our first night and it is abit noisy with people walking around. Not sure if the hot water ran out on the first night as the place was fully booked (we showered around 8pm). We intentionally showered earlier on the second night (arnd 6pm) and there was no issue. We might have been unlucky with the water heating but would recommend to shower earlier, esp if you’re intending to stay in the winter.

There were really clean and modern kitchen and lounge. But it’s a bit pity that the dryer place didn’t work well when I stayed.
