11/10 possible NZ's best shared facilities place
We traveled NZ for a month, and this was hands down the nicest 'shared common space' place we stayed. well equipped, clean, enough space and well managed. wouldn't look for anywhere else if we're ever back in Wanaka

I couldn't fault this place. Spotlessly clean and uncluttered. Even when the lodge was full it never felt crowded because there is plenty of space in common areas, while still feeling cosy. Kitchen was large and functional. Never had to wait for bathrooms or shower. My room was upstairs where there is only 2 rooms, as opposed to off the main hallway where the majority of rooms are, so I can't comment on noise overnight from neighbouring rooms. The managers here are friendly and do a fantastic job of maintaining the lodge and grounds to a high standard.

Very beautiful lodge and very clean! Good for a short stay! But the wall of the room is very thin, and we had an annoying neighbor we’re talking until the midnight, so didn’t get a good sleep at that night.

This has to be the best “hostel” we have ever encountered. All areas were spotless. Large open eating and lounge areas. The kitchen was stocked with all dishes cookware and cutlery you could need. Separate refrigerator shelves for each room. Bathrooms with individual stalls. Friendly, welcoming staff. It was all good and well worth the price.

Property was clean and quiet with a lovely large kitchen and comfortable, quiet lounge room. Very warm and welcoming setup.
A good 15-20min walk from the centre of town if you dont have a car.
