"Convenient, close to bus exchange. Nice staff. Chose double room for myself so I could have my iwn bathroom. But thin walls with awkward neighbor noise as well as weird electrical or plumbing whirring in walls. And kitchen smells from 1st floor permeated entire building including my 3rd floor room!"

"I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay...

"It was a magical place in a magical, breathtaking setting. We had one of the 3-course dinners which was delicious and beautifully presented. The communal kitchen was very nice and inviting for when you wanted to cook for yourself. We were lucky to get to spend our two nights in the heritage cottage facing the lake. The bed was extremely comfortable and the washroom spotlessly clean and very stylish. The staff we chatted with were all very warm and friendly. "

"This is my second time in Haka House Lakefront Queenstown. It’s always a good experience. I stayed in a 4 bed ensuite toilet. The place is very clean and new. Bed is comfortable. They do have a huge kitchen where you can also food with complete kitchen stuff. There is a locker too but you have to provide your own lock. People are so nice and the environment is really friendly. I highly recommend. "
