This is a wonderful hostel for not only the accommodation, but the atmosphere as well. Juliette, Leigh, and Tom are amazing at taking care of the guests and the social environment. Juliette and Alicia have worked hard to keep the hostel clean and comfortable. Yes, the owner needs to replace the kitchen Dishwasher and Faucets, but the hostel itself is in great condition. my favorite hostel in queenstown out of the four that I've stayed.
