Very basic, but perfect for what we needed. Soap and shampoo were provided, and each bunk had its own reading light and charging port, which was very convenient. A personal locker was also provided, along with additional storage space underneath the bed. Strip your bed and duvet before you leave and leave it in the laundry basket by the reception. Shared kitchen and spaces were clean. Great location and the price is good.

We didn't realize it was a hostel until we got there. It was a good stay though. Easy access to restaurants and shops in the downtown Wanaka. Our room was good for the one night we were there. It would have been a bit small for us if we were staying longer. There was also a place we could leave some of our extra groceries for other travellers. The staff was really friendly. Off street parking was an extra $10 night.
