Lovely, non-party hostel with amazing views of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown. Staff and hostel cat were wonderful! Definitely recommend for those looking for a bit more of a home-y experience, away from the loud party scene of the CBD

Really good hostel, the most difficult part is to climb until it, if you have too heavy bags with you...

Riley was an amazing host to us, helping us with all the activities we wanted to book. The hippo photos are awesome of them doing all the Queenstown activities, the place is great! Walking up the hill to get there is a hell of a hill, good for burning off a few of those adult beverages.........Awesome place!
