Haka House Lake Tekapo features accommodation in Lake Tekapo. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 45 km from Mt. Dobson.

You can play billiards at the hostel, and the area is popular for hiking and skiing. The location is PERFECT! Honestly, we’ve been to 56 countries and Lake Tekapo on a clear day might be the most beautiful place on earth. Haka House is an easy walk to everything, has perfect community and kitchen space, and clean beds/rooms. We rented an 8 bunk for our family of 7 and it was wonderful.
