Haka House Hostel Aoraki Mt Cook

Overall stay was acceptable. It was easy to get there, lots of available parking space and cooking facilities were adequate. However, there was no hot water for showering on our first night and it is abit noisy with people walking around. Not sure if the hot water ran out on the first night as the place was fully booked (we showered around 8pm). We intentionally showered earlier on the second night (arnd 6pm) and there was no issue. We might have been unlucky with the water heating but would recommend to shower earlier, esp if you’re intending to stay in the winter.

Really liked the property - easy to park, great access to Mt. Cook and everything is beautiful around this area! Staff was great, but the one downside (that didn't effect me) is if you arrive after the staff leave, you will have difficulties getting in if you failed to contact the property before getting there. They are nice enough to leave all the keys where you can still get into your room, but it requires that you know the code to the door, which you would not know if you do not check in with the property before arriving. While the bed was mostly comfortable, it was not quiet until well after when I wanted to sleep and unlike most hostels, people were not very aware/kind of others need for sleep. This is the second Haka House I've stayed in, and none of them provide towels, which makes me very unlikely to ever go back to one - who doesn't need to shower? And what traveler is bringing a towel with them??? Also the rooms were quite hot until well after 2AM, even when it was only 50F outside. Not an excellent hostel, but the location was superb!

The cost is very high for what you get, suggest looking around at local motels instead. Stayed two nights, one morning and one night there was no hot water for showers or washing up.

Excellent place to stay in Aoraki Mt Cook Nat'l Park with beautiful views and plenty of amenities. We appreciated the on site laundry, lounge areas, and the sauna! Dining options are limited in the park (~3 restaurants). Even though they're all good, you may want to plan ahead and bring groceries to take advantage of the communal kitchen area at the hostel. Helpful and friendly staff keep everything clean and tidy. We loved our experience here!

Hala house is beautiful , we booked a private room with two twin beds. Staff was kind and had a packet waiting for us for late check-in. Plenty of parking. Facility is nice and clean Room was clean and nice. The views from outside our window was stunning I’m giving them a 4/5 instead of a 5 because of a few sticks in the mud : 1) the shared bathroom across from our room. I actually liked the design they have the toilet and shower separate , however the shower room door and lock sticks and I didn’t know that ,and I was stuck in there for a good five minutes trying to get out… the next day when my partner went to shower I forgot to tell him ( I’m horrible I know ) and the same thing happened. Also the shower drain was clogged so you had to slow your shower down to a trickle while you stood in an inch and a half of water No complimentary coffee/tea: I know this is a silly thing to get stuck up on, but coffee is my elixir of life. We got there late and didn’t have time to pick any up, there were not any packets in our room so I went downstairs to look for some, they had a machine in the lobby but you had to pay over three dolllars a cup and it was broken and wouldn’t work. I think some packets of complimentary tea or coffee is a small gesture to guest that goes a long way for them Overall pretty good stay. Mt cook is stunning and there is so much to see there

Clean, big kitchen, enough bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Remember to bring bathing suit to enjoy the sauna which opens from 5-9pm. Close to hooker valley track (10mins walk to the entrance)

There were really clean and modern kitchen and lounge. But it’s a bit pity that the dryer place didn’t work well when I stayed.

The kitchen is clean and useful. The stuff are very kind and friendly.

帶父母包了一間房間，總共8張床、8個櫃子可以供我們使用。浴廁共用但保持很乾淨，水壓充足，父母很滿意！飯店外就有停車場很方便。晚上望向天空，星星比tekapo更多，非常推薦這間住宿！

チェックインは14時からですが、早く着いたところ13時頃にはチェックインできました。ドライルームもあるので、洗濯物やハイキングなどで濡れた物を乾かすことができます。

I loved my stay at Haka house Mt cook! I stayed in an 8 bed dorm room and found it to be very comfortable. The lockers were big and beds felt really private. Clean shower rooms and toilets. Kitchen was well equipped. The views right outside are absolutely stunning!

Clean, comfortable rooms. Communal spaces are also very clean.

Perfect alpine place to stay. Very clean, warm and comfortable.

This is a spotless hostel! We were so impressed by how hard everyone in the staff worked to make sure the entire place is perfectly clean! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean with great water pressure. It’s so conveniently located. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Newer and larger building compared to the Queenstown location we stayed at! Really comfy mattresses and the rooms had a mini fridge and plenty of hooks and hangers. The kitchen was very large and the hostel was very clean. Walls are a bit then but no issues with ear plugs!

Room description was inaccurate- there was zero air conditioning available in the rooms. The only option were fans/heaters that did not work properly, or open the windows which resulted in freezing temperatures overnight. Bathrooms got incredibly dirty quickly in the mornings, but overall stay was ok with a great location and a good restaurant next door.

Fantastic! Clean!

The Hana House is very nice and the staff works hard to keep it very clean.

Nice, clean hostel.

This was rated as a 4 star hotel on hotels. com and on arrival it turned out to be a backpacker hostel with shared shower and toilet facilities. Not something that was evident when booked. TV didn't tune to channels, no facilities within the room, WiFi was poor and no breakfast available. The room, however, was clean and well kept but the hostel was noisy. Left very early, very disappointed.

Clean and seemed to be well managed. Stayed two nights in an 8 bed dorm. Deducted one star as the internet wasn't working for a few hours the first morning.

The place is alright for the budget. However, the bed was very noisy and I move a lot in my sleep. I kept waking the whole dorm when I moved.

Good location. A little bit noisy, we can hear someone is taking from the room nearby.

Easy access to most hiking area, amenities clean and comfortable, friendly staff, affordable. The noise level is way too much though. It's expected on shared rooms/ accomodations, however, banging of doors and conversations of the next door occupants can still be heard past 11pm.

Location is wonderful. There are no many options for budget travelers around Mt Cook. Yet it is worth to visit. Staff are friendly. Price are competitive.

Beyond all expectations this place absolutely amazing, the owners are very friendly and welcoming

My stay great. Property is in great condition, and staff was amazing helpful.

I had a late check in and I forgot to let them know but luckily then left the key with my name on it in an envelop. The place was very clean. It looks new and simple. Staff were nice. I will be back for sure.

Hostel itself is very clean, excellent staff, workable kitchen, etc. The only down side is that it’s a short drive or a long walk to most trailheads & of course any other loud/inconsiderate guests. The place is great though!

Great view of mountains

Very nice hostel in a wonderful location. Everything in Mount Cook Villaga is walking distance... no need for a vehicle when there. Property is very well kept and staff are present for most of the day. Everything you could need at your finger tips.

Location wad very good

Good view and easy arrived

山々が美しいとてもいい立地で心地よくすごでました

Clean, big kitchen, enough bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Remember to bring bathing suit to enjoy the sauna which opens from 5-9pm. Close to hooker valley track (10mins walk to the entrance)

It was clean and the location was good

Sehr guter Startpunkt für Wanderungen in den Bergen.

近くにスーパーマーケットが全くないので、もう少し食べ物を置くとか、そういう配慮があってもいいと思います。ホテルの情報として食べ物を持参する位の事は書いてもいいんじゃないでしょうか。

ユースホステルなので仕方ないと思うが2段ヘッドが2つの狭い部屋で、ゆっくり眠ることができなかった。 キッチンや食事室は綺麗で道具も揃っており、調理に不便さは感じなかった。 ただし、そもそもこのエリアにせめてスーパーマーケットがあっても良いと思う。

호스텔은 처음 이였으나 괜찮았습니다. 방배정 운이 좋았던건지 8명 방인데 너무너무 조용하고 다음날 모두 늦은기상에 푹 잘 수 있었어요!!! 식당도 깨끗했어요 다만 음식이 있는 공간이고 여러사람이 사용하는 곳이여서 파리가..ㅎㅎㅎ 하카하우스는 추천

環境整潔舒適, 共用廚房設備齊全. 餐廳, 交誼廳空間大且舒適. 還有三溫暖烤箱, 爬山累了還可以放鬆一下. 無雲晴朗的夜晚, 停車場即可看到銀河.
