    “Nice”

    Great place with friendly vibe and very helpful staff. People are respectful and I felt very safe. My only complaint is the people have work meetings on laptops early in the morning. It kills any social vibe and we really don’t want to listen to your work meeting. Please be respectful… Sorry to vent, but there were two work meetings going on in the kitchen this morning around 7:00/7:30! If you’re a working nomad, get a private room.

    “It's quiet and nice.”

    The single rooms and dormitories are all quiet and nice. It's good to walk to New World and the lakeside, and I would be willing to revisit if I come to Wanaka again. There is also a staff member who speaks a little Korean. Haha.

    “Okay”

    The surroundings are quite quiet, and there is construction in the front, so I had trouble finding the place at first. It can be a bit difficult to find if you take the city bus, so you need to look at the map carefully. The room was clean and nice.
