HI - YHA Wanaka - Purple Cow Backpackers Hostel
89%
"HI - YHA Wanaka - Purple Cow Backpackers Hostel is delightful. The first thing you notice is the large bay window overlooking the park and lake. Upon entering the hostel there are large common areas for the dining room, computer room, and pool table. The Location This hostel is very well located, just a couple blocks back from the lake. From the main downtown area the hostel is no more than a ten-minute walk. There is plenty of parking available in front and behind the hostel. Rooms and Bathrooms The dorm room is average at best. Some...  more »
Holly's Backpackers
89%
"Holly's Backpackers is a small, friendly place (with twenty-four beds) well-located within Wanaka. It's a member of the BBH club, so remember to bring your card if you have one (it will save you a few dollars a night). For such a small hostel it is well-equipped and comes with stunning views of the mountains around Wanaka, though no lake view. The Location Holly's is located two blocks away from Wanaka's CBD and the nearest shops are a maximum of three-minute walk away. To be fair, Wanaka isn't a large place, but this hostel is well...  more »

Base Backpackers Wanaka
83%
"The best hostel in NZ! - This place was amazing -- by far the most impressive hostel we stayed in while traveling around NZ. The rooms make you feel like you're in a hotel. Great location. Bar on site, as is standard with most Base hostels. Would definitely recommend!" … "Excellent -- better than many hotels! - We stayed in a double room in December 2008. The room was amazing (by hostel standards!) -- the building is new so everything was spotless. We had a huge bed with hotel style bedding, 32" Plasma TV and en-suite room with power...  more »
Matterhorn South Lodge & Backpackers
76%
"This hostel is a combination of a two-story lodge building (which also has one dorm room) and the older, wooden backpackers building. The hostel is one of the older hostels in Wanaka, and is showing its age and is looking frayed. The Location The hostel is located at the top of Helwick Street, which is the main street leading up from the lake in Wanaka. It is opposite an email and cycle rental shop, and also opposite a pub. There are some parking places for the hostel -- however, there are parking restrictions outside the hostel, so...  more »
HI - YHA Wanaka - Upton Street Hostel
75%
"Quite location - Stayed in a double room, which had two single beds. The only complaint would be that you have to go outside to get to the bathrooms, which would be freezing in winter." … "Very small and quite shabby. Grounds were tidy. Pricing too high for the level of accommodation provided. Very forgettable." … "Stayed in a twin room which was tiny, bit stuffy and the room heater switches itself off every thirty minutes so you freeze in your sleep. Kitchen/lounge/staff are fine and its a bit quieter and set back from the main...  more »
Fern Tree Lodge
Not Yet Rated
"The Location Fern Tree Lodge is a small hostel near the centre of Wanaka (which itself is small!) and is one of about five hostels in Wanaka. It is part of the neighbouring Fern Motel complex and occupies the next site. The hostel is a collection of buildings, with the main house in front. All buildings are single story. This is not a party hostel and is for those who want a quiet place to sleep. As it is in three buildings, it also means that it does not have a hostel feel. Being small, it also does not have a lot of the facilities that...  more »
