Everything was great. Room was big. You get 2 towels and there is shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. There is also 2 extra bathrooms if you don’t want to use the one in the room. Extra covers for the bed if you are cold, or you can turn the heater on. There is free bread, milk, cereal, jam, etc. for breakfast. Also different coffees and teas. Lots of free parking around the hostel. 2min to Queens park and 15min to city center. Merlyn was lovely,. Beth as well. She borrowed me her rain jacket because I forgot mine at home.

Very clean and quiet. There was parking available. The beds were sturdy and had privacy curtains. Lots of room to store goods next to the bed and also the drawers beneath the beds were pretty large (big enough to fit a carry-on luggage in). There was an extra kitchen in the building where we stayed. The heater to the lounge was on in the mornings which was a great touch considering the cold outside. The bbq area was pretty big and there was a clothing line outside.

This stay was exactly what we needed after a long hike. All the facilities worked as they should. A very cozy, retro property that has plenty of charm. We really enjoyed our stay here, and Nathan was extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

Te Anau Lakefront Backpacker offers a pleasant stay for budget-conscious travelers. The combination of its central location, affordable rates, and clean, comfortable rooms makes it an excellent choice for both short and long stays. While it may not offer luxury amenities, it excels in providing the essentials at a great price.

Great location. Lovely staff. The building seems to be purpose build and the facilities (kitchen, out door space, eating and other shared areas), are very good … a bit more attention on sound proofing would have made it even better

The Intercity Bus stop is literally at the door of the hostel, which makes this hostel the best hostel in the entire country. Not to mention clean and neat rooms, no homeless people, and a freaking large cafe that sells all 3 meals for the day.
