You can play billiards at the hostel, and the area is popular for hiking and skiing. The views to the lake from our private room were stunning. If someday we come back to Tekapo, we'll choose Haka House again

We stayed at very last minute in a mix dorm and was really nice, I’ve already stayed at many hostels before around the world and this is easily one of the best talking about facilities and how clean it is. They also have private rooms but I think only if you do the reservation in advanced. The kitchen was perfectly equipped! We loved everything:)
