Since there is not so much choice for the hostel in Lake Tekapo, a bit pricy for 5 sharing room, which the space is pretty small for 5 persons. Moderate YHA hostel. The best part of the hostel is the lake view, stunning lake tekapo you may spend day and night with different color changing of the lake, Highly recommended... More

This is such a relaxing, quiet, beautiful place! I didn't really expect much, but I just LOVED it! The dorm was very spacious with lots of light coming in from the windows, and great views. The beds were very good, two bunks and two single beds. The kitchen is spacious, clean, and had great views too! There could be a... More

My friend and I stayed 2 nights here in a private double. We loved it here. It is small and personable. Also, the staff (Richard) was knowledgeable about the area, very friendly, and welcoming. This was one of our favorite places in New Zealand. The YHA is right on Lake Tekapo with stunning views. It is also within walking distance... More

I stayed five nights here. At the first three nights, I stayed in six beds mixed dorm. Room was spacious and I was lucky to sleep on a bed next to window with amazing lake view. There are two beds are not bunk beds. So be hurried. Dining room and lounge was breathtaking coz you can get the most spectacular... More

Beautiful swiss chalet type structure, lovely lake side setting with large garden, very tranquil, few yards from lake shore. Very spacious, large communal areas, very clean. Two minutes walk from main bus station, only a short walk to all other attractions - church of the Good Shepherd and centre. Amazing sky watching from garden, and a very helpful, patient receptionist... More

Im afraid im like Nils B - we got Room 1 as well - the double. The walls seemed to be so thin - vending machines and fridges from the dining room making a horrible noise. People making food late - toilet door being close to our door - didn't help. Then someone started to make food at 5.30am. Oh... More

Lovely stay, It's a mere 5 minute walk at the most to the few shops and restaurants in tekapo centre so great location and also right on the lake itself which is beautiful and the water aqua blue with the mountains in the background do if you are a picture/camera person it's amazing. Staff friendly - guy who checked us... More

Well, after round about 4 weeks in NZ we have to say that the YHA in Tekapo was one of the worst backpackers. We booked a double room, which was more or less (almost) in the kitchen and next to the toilet and showers for the men. The smell from cooking in the kitchen came directly in our room. Furthermore,... More

Great location although the signpost of this place was quite difficult to find. There is a need to put up the green YHA signpost along the main road. I really love the place. 4 Square supermarket is very near. If you go in December, the lupins are in full bloom and this adds to the beauty of the area. Kitchen... More
