It was great! Though I would only stay a night and ended up staying two nights, great town and great place to stay, very walkable location, friendly people, and lots of spaces to relax within the hostel.

Chill in sexy Wanaka
Stayed single room twin bed ensuite.
Private rooms are expensive in Wanaka. By far the first most expensive private room in NZ.
All good with essentials however which the bathroom are equipped with heater.
2 minutes walk to Four Square grocery and lots of eateries.
Only negative issue is bathroom is very cold in private room ensuite as there is no heater as compared to Haka Tekapo which has heater in both room and bathroom.
The detergents are diluted with 10% detergent and 90% water, guess that’s to save cost.
I bought my own detergent (not expensive from brand Pam’s) from four square to make sure the oily utensils are cleaned and oil free.

it’s actually a divided hut behind the main building of hostel. Quite hot during the sunny daytime, no air con and fans available. The only fan in bathroom was super loud.
Just like motel at back. Should be aware noise when cars and other guests passed though the stone road.

Overall it was a good night stay. Although we had the view as the room was in front, the noise of others can be heard like footsteps and even the smell of people smoking is coming inside the room.
