What guests think

Across reviews, Altamont Lodge stands out for welcoming hosts, excellent value, and exceptionally well kept, well organized shared spaces—especially the fully equipped kitchen and spacious lounge—creating a comfortable, homelike base for travelers who appreciate social yet calm stays.

The kitchen is impressively stocked and clearly labeled, making self catering easy. Rooms are comfortable, but several guests mention thin walls and occasional noise near doors; shared bathrooms typically have little to no waiting. It sits a little outside central Wanaka, yet most find it walkable to town and That Wanaka Tree, with Roys Peak a short drive. A solid option for travellers who enjoy social comforts in a calm setting.

This has to be the best “hostel” we have ever encountered. All areas were spotless. Large open eating and lounge areas. The kitchen was stocked with all dishes cookware and cutlery you could need. Separate refrigerator shelves for each room. Bathrooms with individual stalls. Friendly, welcoming staff. It was all good and well worth the price.

Amazing experience at Altamont Lodge. Jeff is a very friendly and helpful host, and check in was very smooth and immediately made us feel home. The facilities offered cover everything you need, including a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable lounge. Highly recommended!

Warm welcome from Altamont Lodge, rooms spotless and plenty of facilities available eg parking, large kitchen and washing machines. Room tip: if possible, avoid room 1, its a bit close to the double doors and bathroom making it a bit noisy but that depends on the other guests! E

I couldn't fault this place. Spotlessly clean and uncluttered. Even when the lodge was full it never felt crowded because there is plenty of space in common areas, while still feeling cosy. Kitchen was large and functional. Never had to wait for bathrooms or shower. My room was upstairs where there is only 2 rooms, as opposed to off the main hallway where the majority of rooms are, so I can't comment on noise overnight from neighbouring rooms. The managers here are friendly and do a fantastic job of maintaining the lodge and grounds to a high standard.

Only drawback is that it is a bit out of the downtown area (~2km)... still walkable and a pleasant walk at that... but just a note for those who may have mobility issues and no vehicle. Totally recommend!
