Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very nice, comfortable, easy parking.
A little bit expensive.
Clean backpackers lodge with beautiful views from the kitchen/lounge room.
Showers and toilets are in dire need of refurbishment.
Impressive location, very clean, great kitchen.
No towels in the room.
位置还不错就在湖边,厨房和卫生间,浴室卫生不错的
房间太闷热了,有点小
Great proximity to the lake and to town. Decent kitchen setup, and bbq. Beds were comfortable, except for the heat in the room.
The cabin is small and was extremely hot! Had to sleep with the door and windows open along with a small fan supplied. Toilet and shower arrangement is a bit inconvenient but they were decent nonetheless. Overpriced for what you get.
平均並みでした。場所は良いと思う。
共有スペースが他のお客が五月蝿くしていて、ゆっくり出来ない。スタッフも無関心なので自分で注意するしかありません。
Eigen douche en toilet op kamer
Geen stopcontact bij het bed en geen (afsluitbare) kasten of plek om je tas neer te leggen
The location is beautiful!
They don’t provide towels, or at least I wasn’t aware if they did. There was also no prior instructions or communication as to where to arrive since the reception is at a separate location. They have signs everywhere about trespassers that makes it feel intimidating and not welcoming.
The location was fabulous, in front of beautiful Lake Tekapo. The bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well equiped.
We stayed at the backpackers lodge and the room was extremely crumpted with a small window. Smallest than a camp cabin. There were too many people staying at the lodge and they were loud all throughout the night and left the kitchen a mess to use in the morning. The price we paid was very high for the services we received.
I like the location.
Facilities were provided like milk or coffee or tea packs. Moreover, the shower gel was not coming out of the container and I have to open it to make it work.
La ubicación
La ventana de la habitación no tenía mosquitera.
테카포 호수가 엎어지면 코 닿을거리라 언제든 눈 앞에 멋진 호수 감상할 수 있음 또 넓은 주차장, 깨끗하게 관리되는 주방이 좋았음 테카포 지역에서 나름 저렴했던 편이라 좋았음
방에서 사람이 움직이면 삐그덕 소리가 나서 거슬리는거 제외 괜찮았음 그러나 밤마다 사람들이 별보러 나간다는 점을 인지해야함 ㅋㅋ 3박 하려던거 2박으로 수정하고 도망침 ㅋㅋ 밤마다..사람들이 뽀시락뽀시락..
Loved the close access to like tekapo and the trails nearby. It was a simple room but it was all we needed. The kitchen was easy to access and pretty clean. There was not any shared seasoning/oil at the time of my visit.
There was 2 bathrooms for guests staying in the double/single rooms outside of the hostel. However, often times folks from the hostel were using these bathrooms (instead of the ones in the main lodge which was closer to where they were staying). This led to a back up at times
Very good location about 10 mins walk to intercity bus station and 5 mins to the start of the walkway up to Mt John. The lake is just in front of you. Some privacy guaranteed with the curtains. Staff are very friendly. The free pickup up/drop off are randomly arranged and really appreciated.
Nothing really. Though It took a while to find the key and bedsheet drop off room upon check out, but could just be my problem reading the map ahhh.
호수 끝에 숙소가 있어서 오히려 테카포 호수를 더 많이 볼 수 있어서 좋았다!
호스텔이지만 깨끗했고 호수 바로 앞이라 너무 좋았어요.
Loved the communal space. Big well equipped kitchen, large living room with lots of sofas. Right in front of the lake Tekapo
Facilities rather new
We arrived 10:30 pm. Reception was closed. Our calls before arrival were helpful. We collected our keys from after hours Box. However the site map was confusing and not helpful
Une auberge avec une localisation incroyable car elle fait face au lac Tekapo. Elle est à proximité des balades et des bains chauds. La cuisine et salles de bain communes sont bien équipées et propres. Les lits sont confortables. Très bonne adresse pour visiter les alentours.
Les portes qui claquent pour se fermer, très bruyant la nuit!
Great facilities and good value in this location compared to others
No public transport to the center
The location and environment are excellent
Sound insulation is not that good
The location is convenient
The bathroom is so cold. Water is cold and there is partially cold air blowing at you while you are bathing, OMG.. I am so cold and while chatting with the others… they also complained the same thing.
何よりもロケーションが最高で、ロッジのすぐ前が美しいテカポ湖でいつまでも眺めていられます。共同バスやトイレがとても清潔に掃除されていて、居心地がよかったです。キッチンもとてもきれいでつかいやすかっまです。
キッチンのコンロの火力が弱くなかなか火が通らないこと。4人のドミトリーに泊まりましたが、隣のベッドとの距離がとても近く、知らない人と泊まるのは少し気を遣いました。
地點
WIFI
Gute Betten, schöne Küche mit anschließend Aufenthaltsraum
Die Zimmer sind schlecht belüftet. Für 4 Personen ist der Raum zu klein, leider Teppich im Zimmer
L emplacement
La chambre n était pas propre : moquette douteuse et surtout non aspiré avant notre passage. Climatisation dans les douches- un froid de canard
とても清潔で宿泊してる人たちのマナーも良かった。
扉が閉まる音が大きすぎて、いちいち気になった。
Good location and decent facilities
Good and clean
Not enough space.
The staff is excellent and helpful, especially the staff who drives the shuttle bus. He introduced local restaurants and other useful information to us. Everytime he appears like a magic, always the time we need help. I feel so grateful to the staff!
Nice setting, clean and shared bathrooms good. Cabin was cute and was a generally fine stay until we checked out and they told us they wouldn’t store bags.
Stay was totally overshadowed by their ridiculous luggage storage policy. Our intercity bus to Christchurch was at 3:45pm and we had intended to spend the day exploring Tekapo as had arrived late night before. However, on check out the person at front desk says they will only store bags until midday. We have been travelling for 6 months and never experienced this. As backpackers with large rucksacks and other luggage this meant it was impossible for us to do anything with our time in Tekapo except sit with bags somewhere as there is no luggage storage in town. All the communal areas are accessible only by a key (with threatening messages up everywhere if you come in outside of check-in time) so you can’t even use the kitchen or store food after 10am (again never experienced this, it is normal to make use of shared facilities for a few hours after checkout at backpackers places). We ended up having to abandon the day and book an earlier bus out of Tekapo so didn’t get to do the things we came to Tekapo to do because of this place. All I can observe is that they earn so much from their affiliation with Kiwi Experience (they even have Kiwi Experience artwork on the walls) that they don’t care about their reputation or their other guests (even when they’re paying $300 a night for shared facilities!). Unless you’re leaving first thing in the morning, save yourself the trouble and stay somewhere else. WiFi also didn’t work and laundry facilities limited so you have to queue.
Emplacement et propreté
Chambre très, très petite, aucun rangement, 2 petits crochets alors qu'on est 4 (donc 4 serviettes, 4 manteaux). Prix très cher pour une chambre aussi petite et sanitaires communs
Convenient location next to the edge of the lake, rooms were comfortable.
Lacked the sociable feel of some other hostels around New Zealand but good for a short stay.
Good location, easy to find.
Room was compact but had everything
ラウンジソファが広い、
部屋が狭い、暑い、においが強い、タオルがない、ベッドが小さい、天井か低い、トイレットペーパー予備が備えられていない
Location of the place
Rooms for bunk beds were very small and no AC.
Beautiful building just across the lake, with a nice outdoor space, everything you need for cooking etc.
It gets stuffy quite quickly, that was the main issue for me.
Super close to the lake
The showers need a shelf
Location and availability of parking
Room was small
在湖边
价格能便宜点
就在湖边景色特别美 🈶旅行需要的一切 非常干净
Nothing
Only booked because it was last minute trip and this one one of the few places still available during peak season. But this is one of the worst stays ever! The bathrooms are not clean, the beds are uncomfortable with mattresses a bit thicker than a notebook and beds that squeak even when you take deeper breaths. On top the staff is super rude and not accommodating at all. To top it all, they refused to hold my luggage for 2 hrs after checking out.
Wonderful staff
I arrived and couldn't find the reception desk for 20 minutes. The signage wasn't clear where it was. I was tired and it made me angry.
Bathrooms and kitchen, unclean. 4 bedroom dorm. Small room, bunk unstable. Value for money unsatisfactory.
近市中心及好牧人教堂、許願井及Dark sky project 中心(集合點) 步出住房就可直達湖邊 共用廚房設施ok
我們住的是Queen bed及 bunk bed 房間,有足夠空間可提供簡單置物架及1-2椅子,則更理想!
Clean bed sheets, all good in the kitchen, well-organised, close to the lake and walk to Mt John Summit. Also it's well paved to walk from the lodge, the DSD, supermarket, and cafe. It's about 1.4km.
The room was extremely small, no hooks for hanging clothes, no personal storage, no personal phone charger in the room, no providing towels.
Geat location, lots of outdoor room to sit, well equiped kitchen, lots of usb-charching near the comfy couches. Wi-Fi good and even worked when you crossed the road and sat at the beach Free shuttle to the intercity-busstop
It was a bit tricky to get down from the topbunkbed, no nightlight and a small ladder.
Simple but clean. Very good equiped kitchen. They have everything you need for a nice stay.
The location is very good, only minutes walk to the lake.
The room doesn't have a table. The map staff given about the room location is a bit confusing. The garbage bin in bathroom is always full at night, and lots of chaos happening in kitchen in the morning. The bed sheet is a bit dirty, found some dirty spot when removing the sheets for check-out, they were hiding at the end of bed.
The rooms were nice and the common rooms too.
There were only curtains in the bottom bunks and they are very see-through. Why not have proper curtains when you first have innstalled it.
Very clean nice location
Overpriced for what it is - dorms are small and well ventilated- a key consideration in summer
