IrelandThe kitchen and laundry facilities were the best we've ever experienced in any hostel we've ever stayed in. Location was super in terms of proximity to the town, supermarket and the lake. Views of the lake were fantastic. Everything was spotlessly clean. The people were very nice and respectful.

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.

Hostels that guests love in Wanaka
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 726 reviewsIt was a pleasant stay and Jjen (not sure of spelling) was very helpful and kind. The first night came with a rough morning because of all the people going in and out of the door right by my head very early in the morning (fresh powder!) Not the hostels fault I know, but hard to sleep. But Jjen switched me to a room further down and it was loads better. The kitchen was very busy most of the time so I didn't cook there. But it was clean in the morning. It was a great location and nice staff.Guest review byPattiSolo traveller

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,182 reviewsGreat location - super close to the supermarket. Kitchen was massive, and kept really clean. Lots of cooking space, as well as eating space. I was in a 3 person bedroom - not bunk beds which was nice. Good wifi, nice staff. It was a nice place to stay for a few days.Guest review bySarahSolo traveller
