Loved the location and the beds and room were nice. And the lounge/media room were cool.

Stayed at Rm 2, ground level opp the bathroom. Close to Intercity bus dropoff/pickup point & supermart. Comes with lift so better to stay on upp floor rooms. The rooms hv no soundproofing. Can hear talking along the corridor and the slamming whenever the bathroom and room doors close. The motion sensors of the bathroom are outside the shower & toilet cubicles. Twice the lights went out while i was using the bathroom/toilet alone. The kitchen and pantry are well planned & spacious. Clear signages. Great view of L.Tekapo. Credos to the hardworking crew tt kept the bathrooms and kitchen/pantry so clean. Love the self-contained bunk. The room is stuffy with no aircon or fan. the 1/2 top.hung window had to be closed to keep flies out.

The location of Haka House Lake Tekapo is unbeatable - right on the lake with amazing views right from the building. The bunk beds are great, they have individual lights, shelves, chargers, and curtains. There are also lockers in the rooms that also have chargers in them. The kitchen was great, it's huge and there's plenty of room for a lot of people to be in there at once. Plus there's a decent amount of other common areas. And everything was really clean. Plus the staff were friendly and there's a car park just a couple minutes walk.

The entire facility is comfortable and modern. The open plan of the immaculate kitchen is inviting and the upstairs "living room" is spacious, comfortable, and overlooks Lake Tekapo with stunning views. The staff is particularly attentive and friendly. Ingrid greeted us upon check in, making our encounter smooth. And when we asked for a chair for our room Denis took care of it immediately. The staff are eager to offer assistance and advice for walks or other excursions. If you are visiting Lake Tekapo you should stay at Haka House.

Modern very well appointed hostel with really good communal facilities in a fantastic lakeside location. Good variety of shops and restaurants and a large supermarket close by. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was fortunate to get a parking spot right outside otherwise it was a short walk away. Lake swimming and a beach about a ten minute walk. And Hot Springs a little further along.

Incredibly clean and convenient. All the little things they thought of made all the difference. Super clean bathrooms. Very nice shared kitchen with ask the amenities including refrigerators. Good security. Card access to hallways only for rooms in those hallways. Body wash provided. Lockers in each room.

The attached bathroom that comes with our 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room was pretty spacious. We were happy to see shower gel being provided since we forgot to pack ours. 😅 The shared kitchen is huge with several cleaning and cooking stations, which is great so we don't really hv to wait too long for our turns to use the facilities. It's fully equipped with multiple cooking pots, pans and utensils, plates, mugs, forks, spoons, etc. Theres also big fridges and freezers, ovens and microwaves.

We often stop over the night in Lake Tekapo to break up the trip between Queenstown & Christchurch. Gave Haka house a try this time vs a cabin at the campground. Did the trick, modern facilities, fabulous kitchen (all though we didn’t use it). The 4 bed dorm was suitable for our needs, kids loved their ‘capsule’ bed.

The beds were super comfortable and private with curtains, light and a plug. There was a button to switch the heating on if needed and plenty of locker space. The views from the kitchen/lounge were breathtaking. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. It’s a lovely hostel and I wish I’d stayed longer.

The best view of Lake Tekapo in town! Huge picture windows in the communal kitchen and dining room; upstairs loft area with same views plus two outside decks; right on a grassy park that slopes down to the lake. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, the beach, The Dark Sky Project. We had an ensuite room with a large bathroom. The common areas were well kept.
