Te Anau

Staff unhelpful when the booking wasn't what we needed. With an aged guest in our party wanting an adventure we booked the glamping. However when we arrived accommodation was to be shared, which wasn't appropriate. Only one night refunded

Poor customer service

Awesome location, killer lake views!!!! We booked a private room and it seem brand new, we were there with 10 people ( in different room) Friendly staff and very helpful and good price too. Beautiful Host !!!! If we have a chance we’ll back definitely in the future.

Nice and friendly

Absolutely amazing experience. Kitchen was kept tidy and well stocked, communal areas were nice and warm. We had a 6 bed dorm, ithad enough room for myself and my group of friends plus the added person. Bathroom was clean too.

Good place

We booked a night through hotels.com in  a loft room which had en-suite bathroom and a balcony. The view was great and the room was beautifully set up. Reception was only till 8pm but that didn’t cause any issue for us. There was plenty of parking. We’d happily return. A small fridge with milk would have made it a bit better.

Loft rooms here are amazing.

Great location, with lovely views of the lake. We stayed for 2 nights either side of a Milford sound day trip. Well worth travelling to Te Anau to do the trip from there, rather than from Queenstown. The hostel has all the amenities that you need including kitchen, shared storage, fridge, etc. Very clean room. Great base to explore Fjordland. Happy to recommend.

Great Base to Explore Fjordland

Te Anau Lakefront Backpackers is manned by friendly and extremely helpful staff. Do note that the counter is not manned 24 hours (I think it is from 9am to 8pm), so if you have any requests for the next morning it's best to check with them the evening before. Room is a little old and basic with minimal space to walk about. Same goes with the bathroom, although helpfully the basin area offers a countertop to place your toiletries. A 2-person bedroom is drastically different from a 3-person one (where our friends stay), as the former is a bedroom with shared living space (sofa, kitchen) while the latter has its own kitchen. The hostel offers overnight storage at NZ$4/bag/night and has a shared coin-operated laundry room.

Basic and functional

Stayed here with my friend in a cabin around Christmas time 2022. The whole of NZ was currently struggling with staff shortages, but LakeFront Backpackers did not let this affect their quality. Cosy cabin with extremely clean bathrooms close by. A spacious kitchen which was kept very well clean and tidy, which made everyone respect the space much more than usual. Great location close to town with lovely outdoor cooking and dining facilities to be used at leisure. Best backpackers I have ever stayed at.

Super clean and cozy

Great place to stay opposite of Lake Te Anau shore. Friendly and helpful staff, clean hostel, different room options (dorms, cabins, double etc. campsites as well as glamping). Short walk to town centre. All travellers I met supply good spirit so there’s a pretty good vibe everywhere im the hostel. There are also different common areas which takes a lot of pressure out during the peak hours of cooking. 

Just go there and enjoy yourselves.

Lakefront means good times

Great experience, staff were helpful, value for money, 5 minute walk into town with shops & restuarants, facilities clean and tidy, bedrooms were quiet and beds comfortable... no hesitation in recommending .

Highly recommend

I was so surprised by this hostel, it was sparkling clean all the time and had everything you need and want - including a cinema room with a wide selection of films! We booked a private room which was spacious and had a shared balcony great for reading or sitting out looking at the lake. A very large kitchen to accommodate many people, it got very busy even with only 20 people in the hostel so it might get quite crowded in peak time.
