Haka House Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Lake Tekapo, like hiking, skiing and cycling. Amazing hostel. Amazing location, super comfortable beds, everything was nice and clean. This was one of my favorite stays of my trip, I almost wished I had a longer stay. They also had a bit of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack weaved into the mix of music playing and I LOVED IT. Nice quiet songs I think even a non fan could appreciate and just alternated in there a bit with their other music. For me it created such an amazing atmosphere. If I ever manage to make my way back to Tekapo I'd love to stay here again

Dunstan Downs High Country Sheep Station

Omarama

The self contained dormitory rooms are located at the front of the property and feature 6 rooms with shared facilities. There is also a separate cabin located near the river which offers solar powered lights, a composting toilet and an outside bath tub heated by gas. Loved the Shepherds hut. Great character and very cosy. Better than staying in a motel/hotel.
