I stayed for several days in this hostel, and it was quiet, nice, clean and confortable. The kitchen, garden, lounge and tv room are perfect to meet other people and a lot of informations about the tracks around are dispatched on the walls which is very convenient.

I had a really nice stay at YHA, Te Anau. The place was clean and the common bathrooms were well kept. The people at the front desk were friendly and courteous. There is a nice lobby and a very big kitchen. People seemed to be using the services in the kitchen which looked to have everything you would need to cook a meal. The private room that I stayed in is as comfortable as a hotel room that you would get. Thanks goes to the staff at YHA, Te Anau for making my stay a pleasant one.

The first night we arrived we had to call the staff after hours as our dorm beds were riddled with hairs (we don't mind a few but there were loads) among other bits a pieces of dirt. To be fair the guy came, agreed with us and upgraded us to a double for the night. The other 2 nights we were there the beds were clean. Other than that, the kitchen was good with lots of hobs and utensils, the TV room great, the patio very nice, the staff great and gave useful advice and the location perfect.

YHA Te Anau is consistent in quality with other YHAs in New Zealand South Island. However, I would say this is an average YHA in term of staff and fun.

The double room was a bit small for the price compared to other hostels around the South Island, but the heating is good. The staff are a bit strange and dreamy and not that attentive.
