Top notch hostel! It sits right at the edge of the action so you can go into town during the day or night and come back to a chilled out hostel. The incredible views of Queenstown and the lake are a stunning surprise. The walk up the hill might be a bit much if you're carrying a big backpack.

ensures you have place to park a car as some other hostels which are in downtown may not have enough park area. the direction is not quite clearly descripted. if you need to walk there from downtown, be prepared for climbing an abrupt slope.

Nice place to stay and close proximity to hikes around Queenstown. Up a large hill from the town proper, which is not really a problem but is a minor pain. The staff are excellent and will give a discount on activities you book through them, which is especially important in Queenstown!

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
