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!

Very nice hostel in a wonderful location. Everything in Mount Cook Villaga is walking distance... no need for a vehicle when there. Property is very well kept and staff are present for most of the day. Everything you could need at your finger tips.

Nice spot, a bit noisy beds.

The place is alright for the budget. However, the bed was very noisy and I move a lot in my sleep. I kept waking the whole dorm when I moved.

Jayr, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

so good
yeong shin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Clean, big kitchen, enough bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Remember to bring bathing suit to enjoy the sauna which opens from 5-9pm. Close to hooker valley track (10mins walk to the entrance)

10/10 Exceptional

Cool environment. 300 dollars US a bit steep for no bathroom in room. Pretty place for a hostel. NOT WORTH $300!
