Amazing find
What an amazing find. Not what I expected at all. So central to everything, perfect mattress and pillow, a/c was preset to an optimum temperature. Kitchen is clean and very functional with beautiful views. $40 from the airport with an uber or $60 with a large vehicle. Staying here again!

Great family stay
The location of the hostel was fabulous. Easy walking to everything we needed and free parking. Kitchen space was great and the lounge den was good with movies, PlayStation, Wii and book swap. Our family room was good, and had a view of the water. Our only issue was the laundry being closed each morning till 2pm as big numbers of check in coming.....frustrating.

This is usually a well-located hostel located in the heart of Queenstown. However, currently the entire area is under construction, which has removed all the parking options and replaced them with "loading zones." The only solution was to use the loading zones to unload your luggage and then park at least 15 mins walk away to return to the hostel on foot. That is, if there is parking. This being Queenstown, there frequently was no parking available especially during peak hours. I was not informed of this until a few days before our stay, and we have a large family with kids! Needless to say, this made the location a huge downside rather than bonus.
