The Hostel is a really nice beautiful hostel in the middle of the city. All the facilities are super clean and always on stock. The kitchen is clean and very good equipped. The Staff is amazing and is really open to help with all sorts of problems, especially Adam. He was always open to help and also there to have a really nice chat. They provide a laundry service, without charging more, then a laundromat in Queenstown would cost. They provide free towels. The have a really cosy and well equipped lounge area. Every evening the staff planned some sort of activity to get in touch with other people. I highly recommend to stay in this hostel.

The general "atmosphere" was very friendly. I had several conversations with young fellow-travellers, some of whom were two generations younger than me. People were ready to help with a splash of oil for cooking or a bit of butter for my toast.

The lodge was easy to find once we got into Queenstown. Our room was cosy, warm, quiet and surprisingly spacious! The unit we stayed in felt like a house. The shared kitchen was huge and was open plan. It led to the lounge which led outside to a secluded seating area for our unit. The shared bathroom facility in our unit was clean and toiletries were supplied. Everything was organised and well laid out for the guests staying. It was better than what I expected.

The hostel was clean (but not deeply cleaned), quiet, and very comfortable. The location is about 5--10 minutes' walk from central QTown, so you're not far, but you're out of the noise and bustle. The other guests were quiet and serious; it seems to be a hostel for introverts. The kitchen was small, but well-equipped and I had no issues with others getting in the way of my cooking. The public spaces were comfortable and there were lots of spaces to sit, so it was easy to find a quiet corner (with a gorgeous view).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
