Great modern hostel on the lakefront a short 5 mins from the centre of queenstown. Good rooms and clean hot showers. Comfy lounge with pool table. Parking can be tricky - like most places. A hot tub or sauna would be a great addition to the hostel a day of skiing!

Fantastic location, easy walk to town centre and beautiful views across the lake. Modern clean rooms and helpful staff. Kitchen set up was awesome - so much great equipment and storage facilities.
Judi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place is quite clean, no street noise, convenient for someone who catch bus. But the room is lack of storage, there is no hanger for my jacket and no secure storage for my snowboard board bag, I have to put it underneath the bed. The dryroom need to be more organised with some drying rack, not wirer. Laundry is expensive $6 a wash n $6 for dry.

They asked for my credit card in case any additional charges came up during my stay. However, there were no towels or hair dryer provided, and I was placed in a room with two male guests.

You can’t spell Haka without AK!

AK was the best host and made the stay in Queenstown a joy with his warmth and great suggestions. Property is a pleasant and scenic walk from town yet tranquil - a great balance between the scenery and the scene in this royal town.
Daanesh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property itself is decent, but I would highly recommend to book atleast 3 months in advance if planning to go to Queenstown. The highlight of this property is the location, its top notch, you get the beautiful lake view and all the activity decks are just on the 5-10 mins of walking distance away and bus stop is just next to the property. So, location wise 10/10

Worth a stay!

Comfortable bed and great having the curtain on the bed. Tiny room for 3 beds - tough to have 2 people sorting out kit let alone 3! Shower fans need a clean but overall great place to stay. Lovely outlook!

Decent hostel. Felt a bit dirty compared to other Haka hostels. Also didn’t have the friendly vibe which I had experienced elsewhere.
