Queenstown stopover
It was convenient to have a seperate cabin, but the bathrooms were a bit few.
typicaly peopledon not understand the oncept of mopping the floor in the wet floor bathroom after thay have used it, so it was frequently wet.

Nice hotel, staff very friendly, room was clean, plenty of shared areas, easily walkable
Only noticed it could use a couple more bathrooms/showers, but with as busy as the hotel was, we had to shower it was never more than a 5 minute wait.
Definitely would stay here again! Loved it.

The property is in an amazing location. The wifi isn't great, a bit slow. Was noisy at night when we were there.

Decent room and beds, clean, friendly staff, and a fair price. Ramon the dog was extremely cute and an effective security pupper. I was sad not to have met the local kitty cats I was advised of, but you can't have everything :-)

Fun for backpackers
Really well located for the town centre. A 5-10 minute walk. Limited parking with street parking available. The room a compact cabin outside the main house. Comfortable bed. With a double and a single bunk up a vertical ladder. No air conditioning but windows provided adequate ventilation. The washroom is in the main block. So for the cabins facilities are outside but inside through a combination/ swipe card door. The bathroom of which could be found on all floors. So waiting wasn’t an issue generally.
The atmosphere in the house is excellent. Young friendly group of travellers very active socially and welcoming made for a positive atmosphere. Unfortunately I am too old at 65 to be so active. Sleeping and security proved to be effective.
For the cost convenience atmosphere and security you can’t go wrong. If I was 25-35 it’s perfect.

This was a great backpackers to stay at overall. The only thing I think needs to be noted is that I believe there was a leak in our "cabin". The room was musty smelling and at times the carpet felt damp.

Good stay here. Booked private room - was a seperate building outside with short walk into main building for bathroom and kitchen. All pretty clean - room was a bit heavy with smell or air freshener. Parking is tight but generally available. Easy walk into Queenstown (~15 min) for main sites/attractions in town.

The room smell of bleach so strong it sting your eyes. First night, the upper of the bunk bed where my friend sleeping fell into my head while in deep sleep. Bruises on my head and ear. $20 worth of our food went missing. The reception Emilia reassure to find it but when she saw us didn’t say a thing. I guess the location is accessible to shop the only thing we like.
