Loved the staff, not so much some of the guests
I have had the opportunity of staying at this Haka House a few times and the staff is always so kind and helpful. The cleanliness is almost impeccable. I must say I did not enjoy my stay in a mixed 8 people dorm as much as the female 4 or mixed 4 or even the 2 person dorm because of the unbelievable lack of respect of so many people concerning night time noise, odours, lack of hygiene, having the sound and notifications on their phones loud all evening and night long. You’d think it was common sense… not for everyone! I would never reserve a 8 person dorm again, I’d rather pay more to have a better chance of having considerate people in my room, especially for long stays. I know this is a guest problem and not at all Haka House’s fault but keep in mind when choosing your room.

Best hostel in New Zealand
This is my second time stating here (4 bunk room and 2 bunk room) and I am always very happy with my stay. The rooms are vacuumed everyday, garbage picked up everyday as well, the bathrooms and kitchen are maintained regularly which makes for a comfortable stay. I like the that there are charging ports in every bed as well as curtains for privacy. The only things that I could say were a little less positive was my check in, no one was at the front desk as it was late, the self check in did not find my reservation and I did not have a phone so I could not call the night number so I had to wait quite a while to find someone who could lend me their phone. The second thing is that the laundry went up by 2$ since 9 months ago which I think is an unnecessary raise but I can still understand.

Highly recommend
This is my second time in Haka House Lakefront Queenstown. It’s always a good experience. I stayed in a 4 bed ensuite toilet. The place is very clean and new. Bed is comfortable. They do have a huge kitchen where you can also food with complete kitchen stuff. There is a locker too but you have to provide your own lock. People are so nice and the environment is really friendly. I highly recommend.

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.

部屋にあるシャワーヘッドが近代的で他のバッパーでは見たことがなく、共用バスルームのシャワーも含め水圧が充分あった。 シャワーカーテンの使い方を知らない人がいるのか、シャワールームの床はびしょ濡れだった。 ウォーターサーバーや給湯器がなくお湯は湯沸かし器で沸かさないといけなかった。 町まで少し歩かないといけないが、湖沿いを散歩しながら行けるので不便だとは思わなかった。町から離れている分静かに過ごせたと思う。

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

8/10 Very good

Overall good place but issues were as follows: - lockers in room were unusable as the beds backed onto the lockers so you couldn’t actually open the locker doors. This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)
