Hank's Hut

Good space & kitchen facilities.

Construction / renovation view next door is bad.

We were excited about this accommodation as the reviews had mentioned waking up and being able to view the lake from the lounge window. Unfortunately, that is a real stretch now with the new buildings going up around the hut. We still enjoyed our stay and there were lots of lovely little extras that we appreciated. Including being able to catch up our laundry and cook a yummy home made meal.

We expected lake views based on the reviews but understood the reviews were probably old and with all the new buildings the views of the lake were not what we expected.

Het is een heerlijke tiny house: heel proper, zachte lakens met warme dekens, fijne badkamer met wasmachine en keuken met alle voorzieningen.

We misten eventueel een klaptafeltje en 2 klapstoeltjes zodat je niet op een plateau op je schoot in de zetel moet eten. En ook op terras hadden we graag een zeteltje gehad om in de namiddag wat van de herfstzon te kunnen genieten.

Absolutely love the place!

Not much. Place was clean but very basic and soulless.

It was very unwelcoming. No welcome note like all our other stays on the South Island this last 2 weeks. . Notices everywhere about fines for doing things wrong. Told we MUST take all rubbish with us but no outside bins to deposit anything in. No iron. Only 2 plates 2 cups 2 glasses. We had to constantly wash up during the one meal we cooked A really bad vibe and just seemed mean. Also told we needed to take photos of all damage as soon as we arrived otherwise we'd be charged for repairs. There was water damage to kitchen doors and the lounge was old, stained and ripped.

Great stay!

Good location, good details

The bed, hanger everywhere

Easy to find, easy to use, exactly what we were looking for

Comfortable

No view of like was not disclosed, floor issue with lifting vinyl planks from old water egress is unacceptable for high rates charged - a poor quality build i suspect. No clear instruction for waste disposal - for example recycle bins across the road on what looks like someone else’s property- no dishwasher installed yet instructions on leaving kitchen on departure say to wash & leave in dishwasher

記念のお菓子など、ホスピタリティがありました 設備の使い方がわからないときもすぐに教えてくださいました。

Very comfortable with everything we needed. Perfect for the two of us. Highly recommend

There was nothing we didn't like

clean and comfortable

property could have a few more bath towels and two outside deck chairs

The location is excellent, offering a full unit for yourself, complete with a parking space next to the unit's deck. It has a very good shower, a nice and comfortable bed, and a small kitchen unit in the living room. The price was good, the check-in was easy, and we loved that after the day's activities, we had a quiet place to rest.

Some minor things, I would add a bench for the luggage in the sleeping room, so you won't have to put the suitcases on the floor. This is New Zealand. You have at least one suitcase The living room has a sofa and a coffee table that aren't comfortable for eating on. I would replace the seating area with a nice dining table and some chairs.

Very comfortable, sunny and great views . Nicely designed

Could have done with a coffee plunger

It was everything you need. A couple of deck chairs to sit on outside would be nice as got quite stuffy inside. We didn’t use the heat pump though

It was cosy and comfortable

Everything was very nice!

Some constructions nearby although they did not affect our time in this great hut.

New, clean, good shower, comfy beds. Compact little unit.

Very clean and tidy. Laminate flooring peeling off in  kitchen area could be a trip hazard. Would have been nice to be notified of building work going on next door, trucks and utes coming and going all day. Also very minimal cooking utensils. Transparency as to the building works would have been nice, also a random cat entering property is not great if some one has allergies. 

All very clean and modern walk to town

Nothing

All aspects of Hank's Hut met expectations, it was modern, light, warm, clean and enough room to use as a base for other activities. The unit is in a new sub division which still has a view of the mountains, it's nice to be away from State Highway 1 and the commercial area.

Loved this place. Felt comfortable and cosy.

Everything was perfect. Warm, clean, comfy, cosy. Wouldn’t look to stay anywhere else but here for Lake Tekapo.

We liked being within easy walking distance of attractions and restaurants in Tekapo, straight forward check-in once we had been sent the correct details. However, not very spacious and limited facilities as a result.

We liked the deck and the washing machine

The couch was old, soft and uncomfortable. The bed was wat too small. The location wasn't great, it was right in front of a house and didn't have any privacy

It was lovely to have a separate bedroom and lounge area. The full size cooker was great. The washing machine was a godsend. An ironing board and iron would have been useful. Property was on a new estate which is lovely and quiet and near the main town.

The accommodation was neat and tidy and clean.

The accommodation faced the west and it got very hot in the afternoon and early evening. Fortunately the accommodation provided air conditioning so one could manage the heat.

Hank’s hut was wonderful. Modern, exceptionally clean and well appointed. Very close to the main area shops and restaurants but also removed a bit so it felt peaceful. Beautiful views.

The bed was a little too firm.

Great location, nice view, all facilities are well maintained

It was all very nice until one cockroach appeared 😦

Location was easy and in a quiet location. Not far from the Lake

Very comfortable, modern and had everything we needed! Loved the view of the lake and mountains from the lounge window. Highly recommend!

Free wifi

See photos attached of ‘extra large bed’ was barely a queen, I suspect it was actually a double. So definitely NOT extra large! Tried to raise with the owner with no reply. Was budget standard but not budget cost. Couch looked like it was second hand after being attacked by a kitty cat for a while. Not very private. Have stayed in better caravan parks.

The location of the hut is perfect. The little touches like hot chocolate made it feel like home. The heater in the bathroom is god sent.

Nothing to not like about this place.

Very clean and homely. We appreciated the personal touches from the owner and we enjoyed the chocolate. It was almost perfect..

Location. There is no privacy. It's basically a cabin in the owner's front yard in a residential neighbourhood. Anyone walking past or driving along can see straight inside the cabin. We were plagued with cars driving along the street with lights on full beam shining straight into the cabin. The bed was also very, very hard. Difficult to get a good night's sleep. It's a shame as the owners have clearly put a lot of effort into making the place nice. Maybe black out curtains would help and a thick mattress topper would make a big difference.

Everything from the cleanliness to the view to the location all were amazing.

Great location great views

N/A

Such a cute and tidy little place! It also kept us very warm during the cold nights and days. Would stay again!

Heating was already on

We can use various facilities to cook.

That was a pack of milk that someone left.

Everything. It was super comfortable.

The shower cubical had pink mould.

Very clean and well-equipped! We had everything we needed. Comfortable stay

Washing machine even though we didn't use it. 2 x air conditioners. Could do cooking on stove etc. Quiet street.

Couldn't see the stars with all the street low bollards, no biggie but had heard all about them and couldn't see them. Air conditioner in bed room blue operational light is far to bright, it could do with a thin tape put over it so it is dimmed. Key box was abit difficult to open. Address is on phone google maps but not yet on vehicle Nauman as it is a newish street.

Spotlessly clean, ample space for two people, we had all that we needed, close to town centre, comfortable bed and nice linen, laundry and good cooking facilities, quiet location, with a nice decking area to enjoy the afternoon sun or star filled skies and super friendly and welcoming hosts. We loved our stay at Hank’s Hut and would happily recommend it.

Saying goodbye to the our two furry friends, Hank and Tom. There really were no negatives to our stay.
