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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
