"The hostel is conveniently located just a minute's walk from the bus stop. It's also right next to the Dark Sky Project, which is great for those joining the night tours. You're greeted by a beautiful lake right in front, and there's a supermarket about a 5-minute walk away, which is very handy. Many guests make use of the kitchen facilities to cook meals with ingredients bought from the supermarket. Drinking water is freely available from a dispenser. Upstairs from the kitchen, there's a lounge area with a billiard table and board games.
I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm, but there were only two of us, including myself. While there are lockers in the room, they don't come with keys, so it's a good idea to bring your own padlock if you need one. Towels and other essentials are available for rent, so you won't be in a pinch, but if you prefer to save money, you'll need to bring your own. Hair dryers are free to use.
The shower pressure was good, and there was plenty of hot water. The room was warm and comfortable. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Tekapo."
