Great location, great staff. The shared kitchen was shared with only 2 other private rooms and was very clean and well maintained. Since it was raining and very cold, we were unable to use the hot tub. But the overall stay was wonderful!

For a hostel with free breakfast, there were 3 cereals, toast and waffles/pancakes. Easy place to chat to others and soup was great too. Staff were good with advice and help too

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.

    Clean room and shared bathroom. Great location, next to a grocery store, several bar-restaurants, gas station and all the activity officies of Fox Glacier. Polite staff ready to help and give suggestions. Easy parking. Very cheap for the prices of the area.

    Such a lovely hostel! I had a female-only room and the room was lovely, beds were comfortable, the showers and bathrooms were clean and decently modern. The kitchen was very well equipped, free spices/seasoning. The hostel has a small 'gym' room with mats and a few weights, a sauna, and a hot tub. WiFi was very good! Fantastic location, right in the centre. The hostel also has free bikes for hire! I cycled to Lake Matheson (highly recommended!) And bunnies you can feed 🐇
