the room was fantastic with great views over the lake and mountains. Very clean and staff were great . Had dinner in the restaurant and that was amazing

nothing to complain about

Lovely view, restaurant on site.

The hotel is on the hill like a scenic lookout and you can have a stunning view of the snowy mountains with the beautiful Hawea lake.

It is about 15 minutes from Wanaka but it does not botther us much.

nice location, big rooms. not the staff’s fault but we had very noisy people upstairs. The view from the balcony was breathtaking!

not much. it was fine. staff in the restaurant were lovely

the view is nice

it’s old

Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable with parking at the door. We had only an overnight stay but views of the lake were superb. We arrived after reception closed but had very prompt answers when we called to let the hotel know we'd be arriving late. Very friendly staff. Would stay here again.

nothing, very happy with room

location was great

Amazing views, kept very tidy. Food was amazing and staff were exceptionally helpful and went out of their way to help me when I left something behind.

The views were amazing

Beautiful views of the lake! We got upgraded to the cabin rooms and it was phenomenal. Favourite place we have stayed in NZ, thank you :)

Lake views from balcony. Comfortable beds. Games area in beer garden.

This hotel is very understaffed. Reception hours are limited. The restaurant was closed during our stay. There are no self catering facilities. There are no laundry facilities. The building looks very tired and in need of refurbishment. There are no air conditioning units , only fans, and the mezzanine level got extremely hot.

the views are amazing- really gorgeous and location near the lake is lovely. While they were a bit understaffed we had great service and food everyone enjoyed.

Location was amazing. Will definitely be returning to this spot.

The shower facilities were a bit primitive. The location made up for it though.

It is very close to the lake, quiet surroundings, free parking. If you ask at the Hotel for a hair dryer they give it to you. Ginger is the cat of the Hostel, "but please don't feed the cat, she only needs cuddles".

Misleading advertising: the photos of Booking are from the Hotel, not from the HoStel. The HoStel doesn't have views of the lake, is dirty, riddled with bugs and very neglected. In 5 days they havn't come to clean, the garbage has been 4 days without throwing away. The bathroom is disgusting, neither in the public toilets nor in the campsites are so bad. The women's bathroom is full of bugs, the shower water does not come out hot. The wifi signal does not reach the HoStel because it is only for those of the Hotel and you have to go to the parking if you want to be connected. The photos of the bar and billiards are not from the HoStel, only from the restaurant-bar that is expensive. The laundry is in a hut that seems abandoned, so it is really panic to put a washing machine or a dryer. Very painful and poor quality.

The scenery from the room is unbelievable. Its gorgeous and uncomparable with any other hotel we stayed at. The room is very large and can easily have fitted in another person comfortably.

It was slightly cold at the second level of the room.

The views from the hotel were amazing, and it was a convenient location for a road trip through to the West Coast. We were tired from our travelling and the staff were helpful with giving us room service dinner, and we're friendly.

Just a note on some cleaning, we found some rat dropping under the couch, so it appears that a more thorough clean and pest check might be needed. Didn't have any unwanted visitors though.

Great budget hostel accommodation! Staff very friendly and good value for money!!
